Last night, some of the loudest cheers at the DNC Convention were for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s inspirational speech supporting Kamala Harris for president.
“Together we’ve put a lot of cracks in the highest, hardest glass ceiling,” Clinton said. “Tonight we are so close to breaking through once and for all. I want to tell you what I see through all those cracks. And what it matters for each and every one of us.”
“And you know what?” Clinton added. “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.”
The crowd erupted into loud cheers in response, which they had been doing since she took the stage.
In her forceful speech, she emphasized that a victory for Harris is a victory for all women, including her:
“My friends, when a barrier falls for one of us, it falls and clears the way for all of us,” Clinton said. “For the next 78 days, we need to work harder than we ever have…. I want my grandchildren and their grandchildren to know I was here at this moment, that we were here, that we were with Kamala Harris every step of the way.”
