Clinton also warns Democrats not to get distracted as 2016 memories loom
Bill Clinton, like many of this week's keynote speakers, is advising Democrats at the United Center and around the country not to get distracted or overconfident this election cycle.
Seemingly referencing the 2016 election, he said: "We've seen more than one election slip away from us when we thought it couldn't happen. When people got distracted by phony issues.
"This is a brutal, tough business. I want you to be happy," he continued.

"One of the reasons that Vice President Harris is doing so well is that we're all so happy. But you should never underestimate your adversary."
