Democratic National Convention Begins in Chicago

As the Democratic National Convention kicks off in Chicago, President Joe Biden, who withdrew from the presidential race, is set to deliver a farewell speech emphasizing Vice President Kamala Harris's candidacy and his legacy. Jill Biden will also speak, highlighting her husband's 50 years of public service and urging Americans to unite. The convention theme, 'For the People,' will focus on Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, prioritizing the needs of citizens over personal interests. Biden has criticized former President Trump and 'ultra MAGA' Republicans, framing them as a threat to democracy. Concurrently, Trump is campaigning in Pennsylvania, where recent polls show a tight race with Harris. The convention runs from Monday through Thursday, featuring notable speakers including former Presidents Obama and Clinton.
