CHICAGO — Former first lady Michelle Obama electrified the crowd at the Democratic National Convention here on Tuesday with a speech that hammered former President Trump, while only rarely naming him.
But Obama also placed Vice President Harris in the same lineage as former President Obama — as a vehicle for hope.
“Hope is making a comeback,” the former first lady said early in her speech, drawing a direct line between her husband’s historic 2008 presidential campaign and Harris’s quest this year.
