“Yes, she can": Obama references his own 2008 presidential run in DNC speech supporting Harris

Speaking at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) on Tuesday, former U.S. President Barack Obama threw his support behind Kamala Harris just hours after she was officially made the party’s presidential nominee. “This convention has always been pretty good to kids with funny names who believe in a country where anything is possible,” he said, referencing his 2004 debut at the DNC. He would run for the presidency four years later. He always put a twist on the iconic words from his 2008 victory speech – changing “Yes, we can” to “Yes, she can.” Talking about the dangers of a second Trump presidency, Obama compared Trump to a “neighbour who keeps running his leaf blower outside your window” and joked about his “weird obsession with crowd sizes.” Obama also spoke fondly about Harris’ running mate Tim Walz, stating “I love this guy.” For more info, please go to https://globalnews.ca Subscribe to Global News Channel HERE: http://bit.ly/20fcXDc Like Global News on Facebook HERE: http://bit.ly/255GMJQ Follow Global News on X HERE: http://bit.ly/1Toz8mt Follow Global News on Instagram HERE: https://bit.ly/2QZaZIB #GlobalNews
