Bill Clinton's shaky voice and hands stuns DNC viewers as former president, 78, says he doesn't have many more conventions left

Bill Clinton joked that he didn’t have many conventions left during his speech at the DNC Wednesday night, as many on social media said his voice and hands were shaky the entire time.

 

 

 

Clinton, 78, channeled some of the relief inside the Democratic National Convention hall Wednesday when he said a ‘load’s off our shoulders’ while praising Kamala Harris and saluted President Joe Biden for dropping out.

 

 

 

However, many on social media noted with one of his remarks that Father Time may have finally caught up on the man from Hope, Arkansas.

 

 

‘I have no idea how many more of these I’ll be able to come to,’ he said. ‘I started in ’76 and I’ve been to every one since, no, ’72! Lord, I’m getting old.’

Those on the internet seemed to agree, even those who thought the 42nd president spoke well on behalf of Kamala Harris and his party.
Another added: ‘Is Bill Clinton’s voice going to last through the speech? He could turn this convention into a super spreader.’

‘As a 90s kid, it’s admittedly a bit jarring to see Bill Clinton in old age now, with his voice weakened,’ wrote another.

Leslie Hailes wrote: ‘There’s not enough Throat Coat in the US that would help Bill Clinton’s voice.’

Even those who thought he brought the house down couldn’t help but notice Clinton’s age during the largely ad libbed speech.

Justin Sherin said: ‘Bill Clinton is hoarse and speaks slowly and his hands shake but as a speaker he’s still unmatched. If you look close you can see when he goes to the script and when he rewrites it on the fly. Talks like he’s in your living room. The master.’

Clinton observed that he just turned 78 years old, which makes him the oldest in his family of four.

‘And the only personal vanity I want to assert is I’m still younger than Donald Trump,’ Clinton said.

 

Clinton is just under two months younger than Trump, who turned 78 in June.

The quip underscored how Democrats can now use the age issue to their advantage, after jettisoning the 81-year-old president who dominated the primaries.
Like Barack Obama, the Clintons had put out a statement backing President Biden after his debate disaster last month. But some of their ex-aides joined former Obama officials in calling for Biden’s replacement.

Clinton made the comment about the load being lifted in a 28-minute speech where he compared Biden to George Washington for yielding to calls to end his campaign while facing a potential blowout in battleground states against Donald Trump.

The former president brought up Barack Obama once calling him ‘explainer in chief’ after his 2012 convention speech won plaudits for persuasion. He also bored convention-goers with his 1988 oration.

This time, he laced his pitch for Kamala Harris with yarns about the candidate himself. (He mispronounced her name once during his remarks).

Clinton pointed back to his past as a voracious fast food consumer to make the case for Kamala Harris at the Democratic convention.

Harris, as her campaign has been reminding voters, spent part of her youth working at McDonald’s, the kind of bootstrap gig that lets her present a contrast with billionaire Donald Trump, the scion of a real estate empire.

Many delegates and even floor speakers were young when Clinton’s own high cholesterol habits were a media sensation. He munched his way through his surprise 1992 campaign victory, occasionally trying to jog off the calories.

That was long before his quadruple bypass surgery and vegan diet that has him slimmed down.
Clinton praised Harris and threw a few barbs at Trump – although they were often gentler ones than the ridicule rolled out by Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama.

Angry Patrick Mahomes says he will LEAVE the NFL and accuses the NFL of risking player safety before huge run of Chiefs games “If there’s no changes, I will leave” – Full Story Inside

Just In: Chiefs Make Historic Patrick Mahomes Announcement

 

Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs have an extremely congested schedule coming up – and the passer is far from thrilled with the NFL.

 

 

Angry Patrick Mahomes says he will LEAVE the NFL and accuses the NFL of risking player safety before huge run of Chiefs games “If there’s no changes, I will leave” – Full Story Inside

The two-time defending champions will embark on a stretch of three games in 11 days beginning this weekend when they face the Browns on Sunday, before hosting the Texans on December 21 and then traveling to the Steelers on Christmas.

And while the Chiefs are sitting pretty atop the AFC with a 12-1 record, Mahomes seems to be dreading his team’s next couple of weeks.

‘It is not a good feeling,’ he told reporters on Wednesday, per ESPN. ‘I’m excited to play on Christmas to hopefully get back from what we did last year [when the Chiefs lost to the Raiders], but you never want to play this many games in this short of time.

‘It’s just not great for your body. But at the end of the day, it’s your job, your profession. You have to come to work and do it.’

Mahomes added, ‘All you can do is focus on the game and the practice that you had that day. I try to prepare my body all year long for this stretch by tailoring my workouts, tailoring how you practice and you prepare. The coaches do a great job of taking care of us on the practice field. We practice hard as anybody, but they know how to kind of dial it back when we need it.’

In addition to the Chiefs, the Texans, Steelers and Ravens will also be playing three games in the next 11 days.

Crucially, though, the Ravens and Texans are coming right off of a bye in Week 14, while the Steelers had their break in Week 9.

The Chiefs haven’t had a rest since they returned from their Week 6 bye – a fact that defensive star Chris Jones was eager to point out.

‘This is one thing I’m doing this offseason is I’m going to the NFLPA, especially with us having three games in [an 11-day] span, that we’re mandatory to have a late bye week,’ he said.

‘With our schedule, it’s kind of awkward, to say the least. … That’s a conversation to have this offseason. If a team has somewhat of a schedule like that, they should get a late-season bye. We don’t need a Week [6] bye … Give it to us in Week 8, Week 10, something like that.’

Mahomes and Co. will have a week-and-a-half to recover after their Christmas Day game before facing the Broncos in Week 18 on January 5.

And if Kansas City manages to wrap up a first-round playoff bye before Week 18 – as they currently have a two-game AFC lead over the Bills – Mahomes and the team’s other starters could be held out of the final regular season game.

The quarterback then wouldn’t play until January 18 or 19 in the divisional round.

Selena Gomez shocked fans on Wednesday night by revealing she is now engaged to her boyfriend Benny Blanco after a year and a half of dating.

 

 

Selena Gomez, 32, Is Engaged to Benny Blanco, 36! Star Flaunts Massive Diamond Ring, Shares Sweet Photos, Hilarious Proposal Clips – and Reveals the Wedding Date Along With Another Shocking Surprise: “Our Prayers Have Been Answered, We’re Expecting…”

The singer, 32, revealed the news on Instagram, sharing the first photos of her massive diamond engagement ring with her 422million followers.

‘forever begins now..’ captioned the Who Said singer. She also included a photo of herself showing off her ring for the camera as Blanco, 36, wrapped his arm around her and kissed her head.

Blanco — a famed music producer — seemingly popped the question during a romantic nighttime picnic featuring Taco Bell.

The couple received an outpouring of love from theor A-list celebrity friends, including Cardi B, Jennifer Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow and Gomez’s BFF Taylor Swift.

Swift — who has been friends with Gomez since 2008 — offered to be the couple’s ‘flower girl.’

Blanco himself also left a cheeky comment in which he referred to Gomez as his ‘wife.’

‘hey wait… that’s my wife,’ wrote the musician, who earned nearly 150,000 ‘likes.’

Gomez has been dating Blanco since June 2023, though she did not confirm the relationship until that December. At the time, she used Instagram to confirm to fans that she’d been secretly dating the hitmaker for six months and that he was her ‘absolute everything.’

Previously, the Wolves songstress dated The Weeknd, Zedd, Nick Jonas, Taylor Lautner and was linked to a number of other stars, including Zayn Malik and The Chainsmokers’ Andrew Taggart. She also famously had an on-and-off relationship with Justin Bieber, 30, that spanned eight years, before they called it quits in 2018. He is now married to model Hailey Bieber, 28, and they welcomed a baby son in August.

Before getting romantic, Gomez and Blanco were friends for over a decade and even worked on music together.

He has produced three of the singer’s biggest hits, including the 2021 tune I Can’t Get Enough and 2015’s Same Old Love.

Selena Gomez shows off engagement ring from fiance Benny Blanco. Last month, Blanco revealed that it was Gomez who made the first move.

‘She asked me out. It was crazy, it was crazy. She literally asked me… like we were just talking, and then she said, “You wanna get dinner?” And I went to the dinner, and I had no idea,’ he explained on Kai Cenat’s Twitch stream.
