this will be the most important night of hillary clinton's political career and the delegates are here filled with anticipation and expectation and the realization that if clinton wants to come out of this convention with momentum, she needs to knock it out of the park tonight. >> and tonight is the climax of the democratic national convention, this event began on monday with the democrats split between delicious and sanders camps and reason to wonder if they could come together. speeches by president obama and vice president biden helped to bring them closer but tonight hillary clinton has to seal the deal. >> she will be introduced tonight, by her daughter chelsea, chelsea has been playing an active role in this campaign and of course a very interested spectator during the first three days of this

convention. vice president joe biden got the delegates going last night with his very direct verbal assault against donald trump. he said any notion that trump cares about the middle class is quote, a bunch of malarky. after his speech i asked the vice president what hillary clinton's number one priority must be in her speech to the country tonight. >> she has to let people see her heart a little bit. see her heart. everybody knows her head and everybody knows how smart and how tough and resilient she is. but i hope they get a little glimpse of her heart she really cares about people. >> sara bloomquist is live on the convention floor, sara what are the delegates hoping to hear from hillary clinton tonight? >> reporter: jim they want specifics to spell out what she would do as president and get a better feel for who she is as a

sense to me. it doesn't make sense she is not viewed for the capable and smart woman she is. i have not drank the kool aid and i have paid attention, i think she will be a great president. >> they echoed what vice president biden told you, that they have an idea of what is in hillary clinton's mind tonight they want to know what is in her heart. i'm sara bloomquist, channel 6 "action news" back up to you. >> lets go live to the podium now where katie mcginty, can date for senate of pennsylvania is talking to the delegates. >> over 300 times -- that is wrong for our families and that is wrong for america. the truth is that fear and anxiety do reach far and wide
