The Democratic Party is set to kick off its convention in Chicago this week, showcasing Vice President Kamala Harris as President Joe Biden’s replacement with a focus on uniting the party and boosting her campaign to defeat Donald Trump in November. Amid celebrations of Harris’ historic candidacy as the first woman of color to reach the Oval Office, questions loom about the depth of her support and coalition.
Progressive protesters are expected to express disapproval of the Biden-Harris administration’s support for Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza, potentially overshadowing the official program. However, Democrats are determined to unite against Trump and his potential chaos if reelected.
Biden is set to give a graceful exit speech to endorse Harris before the focus shifts to the historic potential of her candidacy. The convention will feature speeches from a range of Democratic leaders and highlight key issues such as abortion access and policy platforms aimed at addressing inflation and economic challenges.
As the race remains tight in battleground states, both parties are gearing up for a close election. Trump’s campaign is attempting to counter Harris’ momentum by sending high-profile allies to host news conferences and travel to swing states. It will be a critical week as Harris prepares to write a new chapter in her historic campaign.
