Biden Delivers Keynote at Democratic Convention

President Biden is set to give the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, marking a symbolic transition to Vice President Kamala Harris as he argues against a potential Trump presidency, which he deems a threat to democracy. Following his exit from the reelection race amid party concerns over his candidacy, Biden has endorsed Harris, aiming to consolidate support and highlight his administration's achievements, including pandemic recovery and infrastructure investments. Meanwhile, the 'Abandon Biden' movement is organizing a convention in Chicago to launch a campaign against the Biden-Harris administration, driven by discontent over Biden's stance on the Gaza conflict and calls for a ceasefire. As Biden prepares for his speech, he will be accompanied by family members and is expected to be met with gratitude from party officials. Concurrently, the death toll in Gaza has reached approximately 40,000, complicating the political landscape. Harris has also focused on healthcare issues, emphasizing lowering prescription drug costs in her recent public appearances with Biden.
