Tim Walz has accepted the nomination as the US Democratic vice-presidential candidate. This is "the honor of a lifetime", he said at the Democratic Party convention in Chicago. Bill Clinton, meanwhile, warned against Donald Trump's egocentricity. He appeared in the open air again for the first time - behind bullet-proof glass.

Former presidents Barack Obama and Clinton had previously campaigned for Walz and presidential candidate Kamala Harris at the party conference. Clinton accused the Republican presidential candidate Trump of only having himself in mind.

Clinton: "Trump is all about himself"
 "In 2024 we have a pretty clear choice, it seems to me," said the 78-year-old in his speech. The people of America would have the choice between "Kamala Harris for the people - and the other guy who has proven that he's all about himself".

One reason Clinton said he loved his time in the White House, even in the toughest of times, was the fact that you can always do good in office. Harris, he said, is the only candidate in the race for the presidency who has "the vision, the experience, the temperament, the will and yes, the sheer joy" to work for it. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will withdraw his candidacy, according to media reports.

Trump back on the public stage
Harris' opponent Trump, meanwhile, appeared on an open-air stage for the first time since the attempted assassination of him in mid-July. The Republican used his speech behind bulletproof glass in the battleground state of North Carolina on Wednesday to launch renewed attacks against his Democratic rival.

Harris is the "most radical left-wing person" who has ever run for the US presidency, said the 78-year-old in the small town of Asheboro.

Trump portrayed Harris as a threat to jobs, prosperity and peace. If she won the presidential election on November 5, millions of jobs would "disappear overnight".
