“He will speak Tuesday as someone who also once was a turn-the-page candidate, just as the party is showing signs of renewed energy behind Kamala Harris,” Mr. Axelrod said. “It’s a very different scenario.”
Mr.
Obama’s line that evening, that “there is not a liberal America and a conservative America — there is the United States of America,” promised a vision of national unity at a time that the seams were just being stretched. “There is not a Black America and a white America and Latino America and Asian America,” he added. “There’s the United States of America.”
Former aides to Mr. Obama say he is bound to return to that theme on Tuesday night, as he makes the case for not fueling the societal divisions Mr.
Trump has at once benefited from and fed.

No former U.S. presidents have spoken at the Republican National Convention (RNC) where Donald Trump was nominated. This includes both the 2016 and 2020 conventions. Notably, in 2016, when Trump was first nominated, former Republican presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush were notably absent and did not endorse Trump. Similarly, in 2020, no former Republican presidents participated in the convention or endorsed Trump. This break from tradition highlighted the deep divisions within the Republican Party over Trump's candidacy.
