As the Democratic National Convention is preparing for his The fourth and final night at Chicago’s United Center on Thursday (Aug. 22) has already seen several prominent and powerful speeches. From Oprah Winfrey’s surprise appearance where she belted out Vice President Kamala Harris’ name to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries comparing Trump to an ex-boyfriend, here are the best speeches from the DNC so far.

Former First Lady Michelle Obama has stopped “aiming high”

One of the absolute most memorable speeches At the DNC, former First Lady Michelle Obama was in attendance by courtesy. During her speech, she criticized Donald Trump’s attacks against her and former President Barack Obama. “For years, Donald Trump has done everything in his power to make people afraid of us,” Michelle said.

“You see, his limited, narrow view of the world made him feel threatened by the existence of two hard-working, highly educated, successful people who happen to be black.” Although she coined the phrase, “If they go deepwe go high” in relation to dealing with vicious hate from the right, Michelle seemed to abandon that thought when she asked a question.

“I want to know – I want to know – who is going to tell (Trump), who is going to tell him that the job he is currently seeking may be one of those black jobs?”

Hakeem Jeffries uses an apt analogy to say that Trump is bad at taking cues

Democratic House Leader Hakeem Jeffries did not hold back during his speech to the DNC when he compared former President Donald Trump to an ex-boyfriend trying to repair his relationship with the American people while desperately seeking a second term. What made it all even better was Jeffries’ sense of humor as he made his case.

“Donald Trump is like an old friend you broke up with but he just won’t go away,” Jeffries said. “We broke up for a reason… Donald Trump can try as hard as he wants, but there’s no reason for us to ever get back together. We’ve already seen that. We’re not going back.”

Raphael Warnock turns the stage into a pulpit

Georgia Senator Raphael Warnock let his pastoral side run wild as he preached to DNC attendees to unite for the good of the United States. His passion made for one of the best moments of the convention.

“I am convinced tonight that we can lift up the broken as we rise. We can heal the wounds that divide us. We can heal a planet in peril. We can heal the land,” he said. Warnock also called the culture of MAGA and the attack of its supporters on the US Capitol in 2021.

“The logic of January 6th is a disease, a kind of cancer that has metastasized into dozens of voter suppression laws across the country,” Warnock said. “And we must be vigilant tonight because these anti-democratic forces are at work right now in Georgia and across the country.”

Rep. Jasmine Crockett exposes Donald Trump’s “criminal record”

US Representative Jasmine Crockett – who has made viral headlines in the past – compared Vice President Kamala Harris’ record to that of her presidential opponent Donald Trump. “She became a career lawyer while he became a career criminal – with 34 crimes, two articles of impeachment and a porn star as evidence!” said Crockett.

Crockett was clearly on a roll. “She lived the American dream when he was America’s nightmare. America, if you look at the two options, who would you hire? Donald Trump or Kamala Harris? Kamala Harris has a resume – Donald Trump has a criminal record.”

“The question before us is: Will a vengeful, vile villain hurt the voters’ vision of a better America or not?” Crockett said to loud cheers from the Chicago crowd. “I hear alliteration is back in fashion.”

Barack Obama hits Trump where it hurts

The country’s first black president delivered his speech with his trademark charm and coolness. But he had no problem calling Donald Trump what he is. “This is a 78-year-old billionaire who hasn’t stopped moaning about his problems since he rode down his golden escalator nine years ago,” he said.

“It’s been a constant stream of complaints and grievances that have actually gotten worse now that he’s afraid of losing to Kamala. The childish nicknames and crazy conspiracy theories and the weird obsession with crowd sizes,” he explained while make a gesture with his hands to taunt Trump and hit him where it hurts.

Oprah takes a swipe at JD Vance before literally praising Kamala

“Who says you can’t go home?” Winfrey said at the beginning her surprising appearanceHer long-running eponymous talk show, which ended in 2011, was in Chicago and convention attendees were delighted to see her there. Oprah called for unity, stressing that Kamala Harris would bring joy to our nation as president and that it was imperative for us to vote.

She also mocked JD Vance’s remark about “childless cat ladies” and sang Kamala’s name at the end of her speech. “The thing is, when we stand together, it’s impossible to defeat us,” she said.
