After some hiccups on the first day, organisers of the Democratic National Convention brought out the big guns for day two: The Obamas and a dance party. Here's what you missed.
The second day of the Democratic National Convention featured loving endorsements of Kamala Harris , pointed attacks on Donald Trump , and a rollicking dance party.Party superstars Barack and Michelle Obama used their speeches to not only endorse Harris, but to call out Trump for what they allege was racist behaviour while they were in the White House.
But she also claimed that when her husband Barack Obama was in office, Trump did "everything in his power to make people fear us". "I heard someone compare Trump to the neighbour who keeps running his leaf blower outside your window every minute of every day," Obama said.Like his wife did before him, Obama seemed to want to warn against complacency.
"The vast majority of us don't want to live in a country that is bitter and divided," Barack Obama said."We chase the approval of strangers on our phones," he lamented.Most Americans did not want to live in a country that had become so bitter and divided, he said. Doug also recalled the early days of his relationship with Harris, recounting the rambling, nervous voicemail he left for her to set up their first date.
