Clinton, beginning his 12th convention address, opened his remarks by thanking President Biden and praising Harris, before turning his focus to Trump. He asked viewers to consider who will work for them in the White House.
“In 2024, we have got a pretty clear choice, it seems to me. Kamala Harris, for the people. And the other guy, who’s proved, even more than the first go-around, that he’s about me, myself and I,” Clinton said in Chicago, where he accepted the nomination in 1996 when he was running for reelection.
“I know which one I like better for our country. Kamala Harris will solve problems, seize opportunities, ease our fears, and make sure every American, however they vote, has a chance to chase their dreams,” he said. “Meanwhile, Donald Trump has been a paragon of consistency. He’s still dividing, he’s still blaming, he’s still belittling other people. He creates chaos, and then he sort of curates it as if it were precious art.”
He continued: “He mostly talks about himself. So the next time you hear him, don’t count the lies. Count the i’s.”
“He’s like one of those tenors, opening up, before he walks out on stage, trying to get his lungs open by saying ‘me, me, me, me, me,'” Clinton said. “When Kamala Harris is president, everyday will begin with ‘you, you, you, you.'”
