Defeating Trump rallying cry at Democratic convention

Milwaukee

THE Democratic primary race began as a clash of ideas. But when the Democratic National Convention (DNC) convened on Monday, the party assembled with a singular aim: defeating US President Donald Trump.

From the progressive left to the moderate wing, Mr Trump has served for months as the glue keeping the party from fracturing. And never has this détente been more obvious than in the wide-ranging line-up for the first night of the convention, when, in the name of unity, the virtual stage was open not just to Democrats of various persuasions but to Republicans as well.
