At the Democratic National Convention, Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz emphasized 'freedom' over 'democracy' in their speeches, presenting a contrasting narrative to Republican interpretations of the term. Walz articulated a vision of freedom that includes personal choice and safety, while critiquing Republican policies as obstructive to individual liberties. Former President Bill Clinton called for a 'breath of fresh air' from the Harris-Walz ticket, drawing attention to the urgency of new leadership and warning against complacency. He highlighted the stark differences in leadership styles between the Democrats and Donald Trump, whom he accused of creating chaos for personal gain. As the convention progressed, Walz delivered an inclusive and relatable keynote address, expressing deep patriotism and readiness to support Harris. The DNC featured notable figures like Nancy Pelosi and Oprah Winfrey rallying support for the ticket, signaling a reinvigorated Democratic base.
