DNC: Harris’ll defend US democracy, constitution – Hillary Clinton

Former US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, says the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate, Kamala Harris, will “defend” the democracy and constitution of the United States.

Clinton, who was welcomed on the stage with applause from the cheering crowd that reportedly lasted for a minute uninterrupted, stated this during the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, on Monday.

“She will lower costs for hard-working families, open the doors wide for good paying jobs and she will restore abortion rights nationwide.

“She will defend democracy and our constitution and will protect America from enemies foreign and domestic,” Clinton said of Harris.

“There is a lot of energy in this room, just like there is across the country. Something is happening in America. You can feel it. Something we have worked for and dreamt of for a long time.

“On the other side of that glass ceiling is Kamala Harris raising her hand and taking the oath of office as our 47th president of the United States. Folks, my friends, when a barrier falls for one of us, it clears the way for all of us.

“This is when we stand up. This is when we break through. The future is here,” she said.
