WASHINGTON — Democrats have been unapologetic this week about their health care priority in this election: protecting abortion rights and making Americans feel safe again.
The four-day event in Chicago portrayed a party renewed in its resolve to fight for reproductive rights, affordable medicines, medical freedom and better mental health. Former President Bill Clinton called Harris “the joy president.” Oprah Winfrey called Harris-Waltz a “common sense” combination and urged voters to “choose joy.” Former first lady Michelle Obama told cheering crowds that “hope is being resurrected.”
Vice President Kamala Harris took the stage Thursday night in a similar vein, saying, “In this election, our nation has a rare and fleeting opportunity to move beyond the bitterness, cynicism and divisive conflicts of the past. We have a chance to forge a new path — not as members of any particular party or faction, but as American citizens.”
