Clinton, who just turned 78, didn't shrink from his age, instead turning it into a poke at the GOP nominee, declaring, I'm still younger than Donald Trump. In his 27-minute speech, Clinton leaned into what he's seen over the decades and the burdens of history. He warned the convention crowd that, however good they feel, the campaign will be tough. You should never underestimate your adversary, Clinton said. It could be taken as an allusion to watching his wife, Hillary Clinton, fall just short of the presidency in 2016.
In a deeply polarized country, there was one group that was welcomed with loud applause at both the Republican and Democratic conventions - the parents of young men taken hostage after Hamas' attack on Israel on Oct. 7. Last month in Milwaukee, Ronen and Orna Neutra, told the gathering about the kidnapping of their adult son, Omer, and led the crowd in a chant of bring them home! On Wednesday, Jon Polin and Rachel Goldberg-Polin, whose 23-year-old son Hersh Goldberg-Polin was kidnapped on Oct. 7, walked on stage to the same chant. This is a political convention, Jon Polin said. But needing our only son and all others to come home is what we're focused on.
