Paper Talk

The second day of the Democratic National Convention (DNC) is a popular story for the front pages this morning as the DNC brought out Democratic heavyweights Barack and Michelle Obama. The former president and first lady delivered back-to-back speeches praising Harris and warning the race against Trump will be tight. 

The Washington Post claims the “The Obamas electrify DNC” whilst The Boston Globe reports on the “diverse lineup” of speakers the second night but noting the “Obamas lead the charge.” The former president’s message about Kamala Harris is simple, according to the Chicago Sun-Times says, is: “Yes she can.” The Chicago Tribune says the convention was a rallying cry to “restore our rights.” The Los Angeles Times has a similar take, saying “Abortion is a rallying point” but the coalition cheering in Chicago includes “Cheeseheads for Harris” and her “fellow ‘Desis.'”
