Hillary Clinton says "the future is here, it's in our grasp," in energetic DNC speech

Washington — Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who herself came close to becoming the first woman president eight years ago, said the future is "in our grasp," on Monday, delivering an energetic speech at the first night of the Democratic National Convention.

"This is our time, America," Clinton said. "This is when we stand up. This is when we break through. The future is here, it's in our grasp, let's go win it."

Clinton's speech Monday came as Democrats showed a united front behind Vice President Kamala Harris after she replaced President Biden at the top of the ticket.
