Former first lady Hillary Clinton delivered a passionate speech on Day 1 of the 2024 Democratic National Convention, where she took aim at former President Donald Trump. Clinton highlighted Vice President Kamala Harris's commitment to upholding safety and freedom, contrasting it with her criticisms of Trump's behavior.
During her speech, Clinton referenced Harris's actions in locking up murderers and drug traffickers, emphasizing Harris's dedication to defending the nation's values. She also criticized Trump for allegedly falling asleep during his trial, where he was found guilty of multiple felony counts.

The crowd at the convention echoed Clinton's sentiments with chants of 'lock him up,' reflecting the divisive political climate surrounding Trump's presidency. Clinton's speech emphasized her belief in Harris's respect for the military and veterans, positioning her as a strong leader for the country.
