DNC   President Joe Biden was greeted with a lengthy standing ovation on the first night of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, telling attendees, "I gave my best to you." Biden also slammed Donald Trump as he made the case for the party's new presidential nominee, Kamala Harris, who earlier appeared on stage to thank Biden for his "historic leadership." Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton took to the stage and underscored the potential for the first woman president, adding that she wanted her grandchildren and their grandchildren to know she'd been there for Harris when the "glass ceiling" finally shatters. Later today, former President Barack Obama will deliver a speechthat will vouch for Harris and call for party unity ahead of November's consequential election.
