PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Latest on the Democratic National Convention and 2016 presidential campaign. (all times EDT):

12:15 a.m.

Donald Trump is criticizing Hillary Clinton for not saying the words “radical Islam” in her nomination acceptance speech.

Trump says, “Our way of life is under threat by Radical Islam and Hillary Clinton cannot even bring herself to say the words.”

Trump unleased the criticism in a series of tweets in reaction to the speech. He is picking up a frequent Republican criticism of Democrats’ approach to fighting radicalism.

Neither Clinton nor President Barack Obama uses the phrase “radical Islam” because they say it is misleading — the ideology motivating terrorists does not reflect true Islam, they say. Republicans argue the failure to use the label has hampered the fight.

In her speech, Clinton said she will defeat the Islamic State group and work to fight radicalization of young people in the U.S. and abroad.

Balloons are falling on Hillary Clinton’s convention in Philadelphia.

Red, white and blue balloons are raining down on Democrats and blanketing the stage as Clinton and vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine celebrate their nomination with their families.

The convention-closing party included pyrotechnics that seemed to startle even Clinton, as well as an elaborate “card stunt” that doesn’t appear to have come off as planned.

According to instructions given earlier in the night, delegates were supposed to hold up color cards attached to their seats to spell out a message.

But within the hall at least, it was not clear what message read.

___

11:30 p.m.

There are some signs of discontent amid the celebration of Hillary Clinton’s acceptance of the Democratic presidential nomination.

As Clinton spoke, several people in the crowd at the Democratic National Convention unfurled a banner that said “Wikileaks.” It’s a reference to the leaked party emails that some say show the Democratic National Committee favored Clinton over primary rival Bernie Sanders.

Near the Hawaii delegation, a few delegates waved signs for Green Party candidate Jill Stein.

Some Sanders delegates sat quietly throughout the speech.

For much of Clinton’s speech, a bright red sign stood out from the sea of campaign posters. It read, “Keep your promises.”

Clinton struggled to keep command of the arena. She was repeatedly interrupted by chants of “Hillary!” — that was her supporters’ way of drowning out hecklers.

___

11:26 p.m.

Hillary Clinton is calling on voters to “stand up to bullies.”

She says her mother never let her back down from a challenge, and “literally blocked the door” when a young Hillary tried to hide from a neighborhood bully.

Clinton says she still hears her mother urging her “to keep working, keep fighting for right, no matter what.”

She says that, “More than a few times, I’ve had to pick myself up and get back in the game.”

Clinton is closing her speech at the Democratic National Convention by urging Americans to look to the future “with courage and confidence.”

___

11:24 p.m.

Hillary Clinton says Donald Trump is offering America “empty promises” and what she’s calling “bigotry and bombast.”

She says the choice is clear between the GOP nominee’s rhetoric and what says she is the Democrats’ “bold agenda to improve the lives of people across our country.”

Clinton says she didn’t believe it at first that Trump meant “all the horrible things he says.”

She’s talking about the times Trump called women “pigs” and said a federal judge of Mexican heritage couldn’t be fair to him and denigrated Sen. John McCain’s military service in Vietnam because he was captured.

Clinton says it “was just too hard to fathom” that a candidate for president could say such things.

But she says she had to acknowledge “the sad truth: There is no other Donald Trump.”

___

11:18 p.m.

Hillary Clinton is questioning whether Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has the temperament to be commander in chief.

She says Trump “can’t even handle the rough-and-tumble of a presidential campaign.”

Clinton says Trump loses his cool at the “slightest provocation” — when he’s gotten tough questions from reporters, when he’s challenged in a debate or when he sees a protester at a rally.

Here’s her take: “A man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons.”

___

11:16 p.m.

Hillary Clinton is defending her view that there should be limits on guns in America.

Clinton says in her speech accepting the nomination that she doesn’t want to see people shot by someone “who shouldn’t have a gun in the first place.”

Clinton wants to keep guns out of the hands of criminals, suspected terrorists and others who would do harm.

Clinton says she refuses to believe common ground on the issue of guns can’t be found.

___

Clinton says Trump talks a “big game” about putting America first. But Trump’s clothing line is made overseas, not in the United States. The same goes for other Trump products, such as furniture and picture frames, Clinton says.

Hillary Clinton is telling Democrats at the party’s national convention not to believe anyone who says, “I alone can fix it.”

Hillary Clinton says Donald Trump has brought the Republican Party a long way — from “Morning in America” to “Midnight in America.”

The Democratic presidential candidate says the Trump “wants us to fear the future and fear each other.”

“It’s morning in America” was an optimistic line from a famous political ad aired by Ronald Reagan.

Clinton is asking whether Trump would stay true to the phrase on the country’s seal — “E Pluribus Unum,” or out of many, we are one.

And her take? “We heard Donald Trump’s answer last week at his convention. He wants to divide us — from the rest of the world, and from each other.”

She says President Franklin Roosevelt’s famous words are the perfect rebuke: “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”

They held a political convention and the governor of the host state actually came. And spoke.

That was Tom Wolf on the stage Thursday night at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, and he was taking shots at Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

Wolf’s presence in the convention hall is a reminder that Republicans couldn’t feature a home-state governor at their convention in Cleveland last week.

That’s because Ohio Republican John Kasich is a former Trump primary rival and sharp critic. Kasich steered clear of the GOP convention

Wolf says, unlike Trump, Hillary Clinton will “reward companies that share profits with their employees.”
