Bill Clinton has urged Americans to vote for his wife Hillary in November, calling her the “best darn change maker” he knew, just hours after she made history as the first female presidential nominee of a major US party.
“She’s insatiably curious, she’s a natural leader, she’s a good organiser and she’s the best darn change maker I ever met in my entire life,” the former president said in a highly personal address to delegates at the Democratic national convention in Philadelphia.
The speech by Mr Clinton, who is widely seen by Democrats and Republicans as one of the best political campaigners of his generation, was aimed at humanising his wife and underscoring what he described as her dogged tenacity to deliver results.
