Day three of the DNC served as a rebuttal to the pessimistic tone present at the RNC last week. President Barack Obama said that Americans embrace the future, rather than fear it, while Vice President Joe Biden described Donald Trump’s ability to empathize with the middle class “a bunch of malarkey.” Secretary Hillary Clinton also made a surprise appearance, sharing the stage with Obama. Plus, we asked convention attendees some questions from our listeners. One of the people who answered was dressed head to toe in seersucker — which could be an early sign of unity within the Democratic Party.
