Obama spoke on the second night of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, where he first rose to political prominence.

• He warned voters that "for all the incredible energy we've been able to generate over the last few weeks, for all the rallies and the memes, this will still be a tight race in a closely divided country."

• "I am proud to call him my president, but I am even prouder to call him my friend."
