First lady Michelle Obama gave a forceful, impassioned defense of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, casting her as the only candidate who can be trusted as a role model for the nation's children. Obama was among the power lineup of speakers taking the stage in Philadelphia at the Democratic National Convention. The convention’s first day was embroiled in controversy over leaked emails that showed how party leaders sought to ease Clinton's path to the nomination by mocking her challenger, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders.
Russell, a Bernie Sanders supporter, says she will vote for Hillary Clinton in the fall.
Russell, explaining the rules committee changes, has the crowd screaming, "This is what democracy looks like!" She says she is standing with her Democratic family. She urges delegates to stand together, saying whether you support Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders, they'll have a voice in a Clinton administration. And supporters of each candidate can work together.
