CHICAGO ― Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gave a rousing speech Monday night in support of Kamala Harris for president, emphasizing that her victory in November would mean that women everywhere have finally smashed through the glass ceiling.
“I see the freedom to make our own decisions about our health, our lives, our loves, our families,” she said. “To speak our minds freely and honestly. I see freedom from fear and intimidation from violence and injustice, from chaos and corruption.” The crowd erupted into deafening cheers in response, something they’d already been doing from the moment Clinton stepped on stage. She seemed happy to receive it, too. She was beaming and forceful throughout her speech. She took several shots at Trump, something she may have been eager to do given how ugly his campaign was in 2016.“It is no surprise, is it, that he is lying about Kamala’s record. He’s mocking her name and her laugh.
But the former senator and secretary of state was clear that a victory for Harris is a victory for all women, including her.
