29:15Now PlayingFormer President Bill Clinton spoke at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on Wednesday, a night focused on fighting “for our freedoms,” from democracy to reproductive rights and more.
Before praising Kamala Harris and her ability to move the country forward, Clinton reminded the DNC crowd of Joe Biden’s accomplishments, including his actions during the coronavirus pandemic, which prompted “Thank you, Joe” chants from attendees.
Clinton then compared Biden to George Washington, the nation’s first president, for doing something that’s “really hard for a politician to do -- voluntarily give up political power.”
Turning to Harris, the former president said she’s “the only candidate in this race who has the vision, the experience, the temperament, the will, and yes, the sheer joy to get something done.”
Taking a jab at Harris' opponent, Clinton said former President Donald Trump mostly talks about himself.
“The next time you hear him, don’t count the lies. Count the I's,” he said.
"When Kamala Harris is president, every day will begin with you, you, you."
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz will also formally accept the vice presidential nomination, a day before Vice President Kamala Harris takes the stage as the official nominee.
