Former US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said Tuesday that former President Donald Trump is the first person to run for president convicted of 34 crimes.
On the first day of the Democratic Party's national convention in Chicago, Clinton called for the election of a woman for the first time as president of the United States, according to Agence France-Presse.
The former Secretary of State said: "America is witnessing something, we feel it, something we have worked for and dreamed of for a long time."
Clinton, who lost the presidential election to Republican Donald Trump eight years ago, called on Americans to embody her dream on November 5, the date of the next elections, and "shatter the highest and most difficult glass ceiling" by voting for Kamala Harris.
US Vice President Kamala Harris added enthusiasm to the election campaign after President Joe Biden withdrew from the race and she took his place.
But Hillary Clinton warned Democrats, saying, "Don't get distracted and don't rest on your laurels (...) Over the next 78 days, we have to work harder than ever before."
During her 2016 campaign, Hillary Clinton was expected to win against Donald Trump, and she won the majority of the national vote, but failed to win the necessary majority of voters.
Clinton attacked the Republican candidate, who is running for a third time, and said, "He is the first person to run for president with 34 felonies," referring to Trump's criminal conviction in New York, which was a first for an American president.
The audience supported this gesture, and chants rose calling for the former president to be imprisoned..
