Hillary Clinton to pitch party unity during Democratic convention speech

When he was Vice-President and she was Secretary of State, he said, “once a week, we had breakfast in my home”-he emphasized that last part, as if to make it clear that this wasn’t the sort of meeting he sighed upon seeing on his calendar”.

The vice-president also paid tribute to his late son Beau Biden, who died of cancer previous year, before declaring the 21st Century as the American century.

Clinton undoubtedly has far more appeal than Sanders among black voters, a critical voting bloc in Democratic primaries.

“I can say with confidence there has never been a man or a woman – not me, not Bill (Clinton), nobody – more qualified than Hillary Clinton to serve as president of the United States of America”, Obama thundered before a cheering crowd.

Vice President Joe Biden spent a large portion of his speech focusing on Trump and questioning the billionaire’s commitment to the middle class. “And I think that will probably make the transition a little bit easier”. “Anyone reading the news can see the threats and turbulence we face”, Clinton will say. But I was filled with faith; faith in America – the generous, big-hearted, hopeful country that made my story – that made all of our stories – possible. “That we are moving in a progressive manner”. “You guys have to note I’ve got a closet full of Hillary-themed dresses”.
