From the Washington Times: Former Democratic presidential nominee and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will speak Monday at the Democratic National Convention to make the case for electing the first female president.
Mrs. Clinton has a close relationship with Vice President Kamala Harris, Democratic Party officials said while suggesting the two speak constantly.
“She has been an incredible partner to Vice President Harris,” DNC Chair Minyon Moore said. “They have a great friendship. You know, they’re on speed dial with each other.”
Mrs. Clinton will address the DNC crowd eight years after delegates nominated her to run as the first woman to lead a presidential ticket. She went on to win the popular vote but lost the Electoral College to Donald Trump.
“She will probably talk a lot about what it means at this moment to have the second female, and a female of color, running, but what our responsibility is to that as well,” Ms. Moore said. “We are trying to change and shift the mindset of people to see a woman of color as commander in chief, and Hillary Clinton has served as secretary of state and as our first nominee. So, she has a world view on this.”
In a social media post Monday morning, Clinton declared, “I’m speaking at tonight’s
@demconvention. Join me, @POTUS, and more as we celebrate all the Biden-Harris administration has achieved for Americans and look forward to more progress that leaves no one behind.”

Clinton also used the moment to try to sell her merchandise.
“Women first won the right to vote 104 years ago this week—and now we’re poised to make more history. Help make it happen with an Onward Together shop purchase that will support our partners’ work to strengthen democracy,” she wrote, sharing a photo of a woman wearing a hat from her store.
