2:16Now PlayingJohn Giles, the Republican mayor of Mesa, Arizona, spoke at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on Tuesday, a night devoted to bringing “bold vision” to America’s future and a new generation of Democratic leadership.
Giles said he felt more at home among Democrats than among Republicans, calling the GOP “the cult of [former President] Donald Trump.”
“We all need an adult in the White House, and we've seen what happens when we don't have one. Trump made a lot of lofty promises: unlimited economic growth, American manufacturing reborn, a secure border,” Giles said. “Turns out, Donald Trump was all talk. He wanted our votes but couldn’t deliver a thing.”
Later in the week, Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz will formally accept their nominations as the party’s candidates.
