Bill Clinton, in DNC speech, draws stark contrast between Harris and Trump

Washington — Former President Bill Clinton drew a stark contrast between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, characterizing Trump as a selfish leader who "creates chaos" and "curates" it, and Harris as the candidate with the vision and experience to solve the nation's problems.
"In 2024, we have got a pretty clear choice, it seems to me: Kamala Harris, for the people. And the other guy, who's proved, even more than the first go-around, that he's about me, myself and I," Clinton said in Chicago on the third night of the Democratic National Convention.
"I know which one I like better for our country: Kamala Harris will solve problems, seize opportunities, ease our fears and make sure every American, however they vote, has a chance to chase their dreams," said Clinton. "Meanwhile, Donald Trump has been a paragon of consistency. He's still dividing, he's still blaming, he's still belittling other people. He creates chaos, and then he sort of curates it as if it were precious art."

Washington — The Russian invasion of Ukraine over two years ago rocked the international world order, and it's become one of the most divisive issues of the 2024 presidential election. Republican nominee Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris advocate very different approaches to involvement in the war and the U.S. relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
