YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Former First Lady Michelle Obama anchored the first night of the 2020 Democratic National Convention on Monday night, kicking off a week that will culminate in the party’s nomination of Former Vice President Joe Biden for president. Obama called Biden “a profoundly decent man guided by his faith” and praised his ability to tackle the multiple crises besetting America, while taking direct aim at the current occupant of the White House as their root cause. “Donald Trump is the wrong president for our country,” she said. “He has had more than enough time to prove that he can do the job, but he is clearly in over his head. He cannot meet this moment.”

The first night of the convention introduced the American public to an unprecedented all-virtual format due to the coronavirus pandemic. But, even without balloon-drops and a roaring crowd, the multi-day program still promises to contain a high-wattage roster of Democratic powerhouses, including former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, along with Biden's freshly announced running mate, Senator Kamala Harris. Watch Michelle Obama's speech here.
