<ul class="summary-list"><li>The DNC has shown Democrats really want to win over Republican and independent voters.</li><li>Several Republicans have spoken at the convention, including former Trump White House officials.</li></ul>Here's something you don't usually expect: partisans speaking at the convention of the opposing political party.But that's exactly what's been unfolding at the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/obama-joke-dnc-trump-crowd-size-hand-gesture-watch-2024-8">Democratic National Convention</a> in Chicago this week.It's just one indication of what <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/kamala-harris">Vice President Kamala Harris</a> and the Democrats are really after between now and Election Day: the vote of both independents and disillusioned Republicans.Even before Harris was the party's nominee, the Biden-Harris campaign was making moves to win over Republicans. In early June, the campaign hired Austin Weatherford, who previously served as chief of staff to now-former GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger, to help them do exactly that.The surge in momentum Harris gained since becoming the nominee — including <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-and-his-allies-sure-seem-rattled-by-harriss-momentum-2024-8">in the polls and in donations</a> — has fired up the Democratic base and opened the door to focusing even more on courting Republicans and independents.Those efforts have been on full display at the DNC.<h2 id="32750f33-a5f3-44e0-90f9-1d47e82a6264">Republicans at the DNC say voting for Harris is about democracy</h2>Several Republicans, from former elected officials to former Trump White House aids, have spoken or are scheduled to speak. And these aren't former Republicans — some even chose to mention their Republican status during their DNC remarks — but most have already said they are voting for Harris.The list of Republican speakers includes <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ex-trump-aide-stephanie-grisham-slams-trump-democratic-dnc-speech-2024-8">Stephanie Grisham</a>, former aid to President Donald Trump and Melania Trump; Kinzinger, the former representative from Illinois (speaking Thursday); Olivia Troye, former advisor to Vice President Mike Pence; and Geoff Duncan, former lieutenant governor of Georgia.Troye and Duncan, who spoke during night three on Wednesday, emphasized that their vote for Harris was not about party or agreeing with all her policies but about defending Democracy.<h2 id="61ccf3d8-609e-4345-973b-b6411f61372d">Bill Clinton mentioned Republicans directly and bragged about the economy</h2>When former President Bill Clinton spoke on Wednesday, one of the first things he said was that he was grateful to the Republicans and independents who had appeared on the stage before him that night.He also delivered a big brag about the economy, an issue that Republican voters typically feel strongly about but that is often seen as a weakness for Democrats. Clinton said that since the end of the Cold War, the US has created 51 million jobs — nearly all of which he said Democrats were responsible for."I swear I checked this three times. What's the score? Democrats 50, Republicans one," Clinton said.<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="c-link" href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/08/21/dnc-fact-check-tim-walz/74831613007/">USA Today</a> fact-checked Clinton's claim and said those numbers were correct. The outlet noted that economists say a variety of factors impact jobs numbers, not just the president, and that President George W. Bush and Trump's jobs numbers were impacted by the start of the recession in 2007 and the pandemic in 2020, respectively.Several times in his speech, he also mentioned protecting the rights of every single American, "however they vote." At one point, he also said he has spoken to a lot of people in rural America and that it's important Americans get to know their neighbors and talk to them, even if they disagree with them, another clear attempt to bridge the party gap.<h2 id="160139c7-3477-406a-8f78-ecb48ac9d583">Even Oprah was on message</h2>Oprah, who spoke later Wednesday night, made a direct appeal to independents, noting she counts herself among them."You know what? You're looking at a registered independent who's proud to vote again and again and again because I'm an American, and that's what Americans do," she said."I'm calling on all you independents, and all you undecideds — you know this true, you know I'm telling you the truth — that values and character matter most of all," she said, adding that "decency and respect are on the ballot."Time will tell if Democrats' efforts to attract independents and Republicans will ultimately work, winning Harris the swing states she needs to beat Trump.But she is already seeing some wins. Earlier this month she released a <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/harris-campaigns-outreach-plan-republican-voters-rcna165040">list of dozens of Republicans</a> who planned to vote for her.

In his 88-minute address, the Prime Minister made a pointed reference to the way the Olympics have impacted thinking within the country. "It is a major turning point for our country," he said. "In this decade we have to speed up the drive to bring talent, technology and professionalism into sports in the country." Drawing the nation's attention to the Olympians present in the audience, the Prime Minister said, "The athletes who have made us proud at the Tokyo Olympics are here among us today. I urge the nation to applaud their achievement today. They have not only won our hearts but also inspired future generations." He also highlighted the achievements of Indian women athletes when he announced that Sainik Schools, for the first time in their history, will be opened up for girls. "It is a matter of pride that India's daughters are performing splendidly, be it in Board exams or the Olympics," the PM declared. Emphasising the importance of sports in the school curriculum, he said: "There was a time when sports were not considered to be a part of the mainstream. Parents used to say to children that they would spoil their life if they kept playing. But today, awareness about the importance of sports and fitness is widespread all over the country. We have experienced it in the Olympics this time." As many as 240 Olympians, including gold medallist Neeraj Chopra and silver medallist Mirabai Chanu, the men's and women's hockey teams, their support staff, and officials of the Sports Authority of India were present to listen to the Prime MInister. On his way out of the Red Fort, the Prime Minister's cavalcade stopped at the enclosure reserved for the Olympians and he walked around waving at them. In view of the Covid protocols, the sportspersons remained seated. The athletes surely were excited and shared pictures from the Red Fort on social media platforms as well. Olympian shooter Sanjeev Rajpoot took to Twitter to express his feelings from Red Fort. "Nothing comes close to the feeling of representing your country. Saluting the sacrifices and valour of our freedom fighters! Happy Independence Day. Jai Hind."
