VIEWER GUIDE: Clinton to make her own case Thursday
Supporters of Hillary Clinton hold signs during the third day of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, Wednesday, July 27, 2016. “So, I think the ‘how” question is super important, in politics as it is in life”.
Chelsea Clinton will open for her mother at the Democratic National Convention as Clinton accepts a place in history as the first female presidential nominee for a major party.
But both women are dutiful daughters who will keep doing whatever they can to help their parents achieve their professional dreams. In 1993, after Chelsea Clinton’s father, Bill Clinton, became President, she moved into the White House.
Since its founding in 2012, Mezvinsky’s firm Eaglevale Partners posted what the New York Times has gently described as “uneven performance” managing a portfolio worth more than $300 million. For those unswayed by the testimonials and touching anecdotes of others, only Clinton can make the case for why she deserves a second look.
Chelsea Clinton, daughter of Hillary and Bill, will be introducing her mother tonight at the DNC, just as Ivanka introduced her father at the RNC last week.
But Ivanka, in recent interviews, has indicated that they’ve taken a pause on their friendship as their parents face-off, letting the rest of the campaign play out.
“I am deeply biased towards my mother”, she said at the Facebook event earlier this week.
While the media has declared Chelsea off limits, they have swarmed on Ivanka. “She’s not one of us, the 99 percent”.
First, she worked for the consulting firm McKinsey & Co. for three years and went to Wall Street for another three years to work for a hedge fund. She returned to school at Columbia University, where she got a Master of Public Health.
In an interview with the Today show on Thursday, Matt Lauer asked Chelsea if she is friends with Ivanka and she said “absolutely”. “I hope they are even just a fraction of as proud of me as I am about my mom”. “I don’t expect it will be about politics in the future”.
“It really matters to me that my mom in this election consistently has told you how she’s going to do everything, whether that’s on gun control or protecting a woman’s right to choose or any of the things we’ve talked about”. She spoke about her father’s plans for family leave and making affordable child care more accessible, though some criticized that neither are policies he’s discussed.
“As proud as I am of my mom, this election to me is fundamentally about my children, about Charlotte and Aidan”, she explained. “And I think that’s a real tribute to her because certainly anyone as gorgeous as she is could have probably gone quite far being skin-deep”. “I think First Gentleman has a nice ring to it”.
