Kamala Harris opens her speech by shouting out women who came before her. The women: Hillary Clinton, Mary Church Terrell, Mary McCleod Bethune, Fannie Lou Hamer, Diane Nash, Constance Baker Motley and Shirley Chisholm. — PolitiTweet.org

Obama appearing to fight back tears: "They were on the receiving end of a democracy that had fallen short all their lives. They knew how far the daily reality of America strayed from the myth. And yet, instead of giving up, they joined together..." — PolitiTweet.org

Obama gets emotional recalling how people throughout America's history have fought through oppression: "If anyone had a right to believe that this democracy did not work, and could not work, it was those Americans. Our ancestors." — PolitiTweet.org

Obama with a direct plea to Democratic voters: "They are counting on your cynicism. They know they can’t win you over with their policies. So they’re hoping to make it as hard as possible for you to vote, and to convince you that your vote doesn’t matter. That’s how they win." — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama laid into his successor in the starkest terms yet on Wednesday night, excoriating President Donald Trump as incapable of handling the responsibilities of the presidency and uninterested in “taking the job seriously.” Our story: https://t.co/Q2kQDCA8O5 — PolitiTweet.org

Obama, in another subtle contrast with Trump: "But more than anything, what I know about Joe, what I know about Kamala is that they actually care about every American. And they care deeply about this democracy." — PolitiTweet.org

"Twelve years ago, when I began my search for a vice president, I didn’t know I’d end up finding a brother," Obama says of Biden. "Joe and I came from different places and different generations. But what I quickly came to admire about him is his resilience... empathy." — PolitiTweet.org

This is likely Barack Obama's toughest line against Donald Trump: "Donald Trump hasn’t grown into the job because he can’t. And the consequences of that failure are severe. 170,000 Americans dead. Millions of jobs gone while those at the top take in more than ever." — PolitiTweet.org

Hillary Clinton, looking forward to 2020 and reflecting on 2016: "Don’t forget: Joe and Kamala can win 3 million more votes and still lose. Take it from me. We need numbers so overwhelming Trump can’t sneak or steal his way to victory." #DemocraticConvention — PolitiTweet.org

Hillary Clinton heralds Kamala Harris' humanity by invoking @TyroneGayle: "When her press secretary Tyrone Gayle was dying of cancer, she dropped everything to be with him in his final moments." — PolitiTweet.org

Giffords: "We are at a crossroads. We can let the shooting continue or we can act. We can protect our families, our future. We can vote. We can be on the right side of history. We must elect Joe Biden. He was there for me; he’ll be there for you, too. Join us in this fight." — PolitiTweet.org

Obama not holding back in any way tonight. He says Trump has "shown no interest in putting in the work" to be President. "Donald Trump hasn’t grown into the job because he can’t. And the consequences of that failure are severe," he adds. "170,000 Americans dead." — PolitiTweet.org
