Barack Obama Touts Kamala Harris' Record at Chicago DNC

Barack and Michelle Obama delivered blistering critiques of Republican nominee Donald Trump while painting Vice President Kamala Harris as the heir of their historic political legacy in addresses that capped the second night of the Democratic National Convention. #barackobama #obama #dnc #harris #kamalaharris

Both offered their traditional appeals to reach across the aisle and make the case for Democratic policies to voters skeptical of broadening government or feeling neglected in a trying economy. They said the groundbreaking candidacy of the first woman of color to lead a major party presidential ticket had returned joy and hope to national politics.

But in an election sprint both warned would go down to the wire they offered rebukes of the Republican standard-bearer.

The former first lady drew rapturous applause when she played off of a remark in the first presidential debate, saying Trump might not realize that “the job he’s currently seeking might just be one of those Black jobs.” The former president mocked his Republican successor suggestively over his obsession with crowd size and called him a danger to the nation.

Kamala Harris has not yet given an interview or press conference to the media. What a clown show...

[Sycokay]

Kamala had 3+ years as vice president. What has she done?

[Mdme.X]

C'mon Barack! We all saw the numbers! Banks got *WAY MORE RELIEF* than Americans.

[maureenmorgan]

When is this guy going to get off the stage and retire? Had enough of him voting Trump

[DrFreeSpeech]

Kamala reminds me of the word that rhymes with punt.

[DrFreeSpeech]

Trump got my black vote and I'm never turning back. Trump 2024!

As an attorney general, she locked up innocent black men and was on tv numerous times saying she was Indian. As a border zar she never really went there but did go along with sending federal agents into Texas to cut the barbwire put up by Texas to let illegals through and if I recall continued to separate families at the border. yes she is truly a treasure .

[stevenbeebe]

They ONLY reference her being a prosecutor, why? Because she has ZERO accomplishments in the last 8 years! I guess some guy can reference his High School Sports accomplishments 8 years later during job interviews.

[vegasbeezie]

Its like the person who hasnt done shit since high school, reminiscing about the good old days talking about how cool they once were. Like homecoming was cool and all, but you still work at the taco bell drive up window...

[joshuabailey]

As a prosecutor she arrested more black men in California than any prosecutor before her.

[virgilyancey]

I applaud her for her compassion. 🇺🇸💙🇺🇸Kamala Harris president 2024, 🌊🗳️🌊🇺🇸🌊💙🌊

As far as Kamala's record, the 19.9 percent increase in the Consumer Price Index for the first 3 1/2 years of the Biden -Harris administration is indeed a record high.
