Hillary Clinton Receives Two Minute Standing Ovation at Democratic Convention: ‘Something Is Happening in America, You Can Feel It’

Former Secretary of State, First Lady, and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton received a two minute standing ovation at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago on Monday.

After Clinton walked onto the stage to Sara Bareilles’s 2013 single “Brave,” the audience – including Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi – greeted her with a two minute standing ovation.

“Thank you so much. Thank you,” said Clinton, as she tried repeatedly to start her speech. “Thank you all so much.”

Clinton continued to thank the crowd until it eventually simmered down and she was able to begin her remarks.

“Wow, there’s a lot of energy in this room, just like there is across the country,” she continued. “Something is happening in America. You can feel it. Something we’ve worked for and dreamed of for a long time.”

Clinton then added, “First though, let’s salute President Biden. He has been democracy’s champion at home and abroad. He brought dignity, decency, and competence back to the White House, and he showed what it means to be a true patriot. Thank you Joe Biden for your lifetime of service and leadership!”

The audience then erupted into chants of, “Thank you, Joe!”

Vice President Kamala Harris also received a large standing ovation on Monday after she appeared on stage for a surprise speech.

Like Clinton, Harris opened her speech by thanking Biden for his “lifetime of service.”
