Chicago, August 20:
Vice President and Democratic candidate for the upcoming US presidential polls, Kamala Harris, commended President Joe Biden for his leadership to the nation in her opening remarks at the Democratic National Convention, which began on Monday night in Chicago.
Later today, Biden will give a keynote speech where he is anticipated to discuss the United States' achievements over the past 3.5 years. Additionally, he will provide his support to Harris, implying that she will be the one to continue the advancement in due time.
"I want to kick us off by celebrating our incredible President Joe Biden," Harris said during brief surprise remarks at the DNC in Chicago. That was her main point. Your leadership has been unprecedented, and I am grateful for everything you have done and will do for our country throughout your life. "We will be eternally grateful to you," Harris continued. According to CNN, US President Joe Biden, First Lady Jill Biden, and former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are among the prominent speakers at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago, which has started its first night.
Notably, a video shown during Monday's Democratic National Convention also emphasized Harris' ties to California and the significant influence of her Indian mother, Shyamala Gopalan, on her childhood.
A few clips from Harris's East Bay apartment from his youth were shown in the film. Donald Harris, an economist who retired at Stanford University at the age of 85, was born in Jamaica. Shyamala Gopalan, a breast cancer researcher who died in 2009, was born in India. Harris is the daughter of Donald and Shyamala.
Black women and Asian American women had never before been at the helm of a major political party's ticket until Harris. The vice president was formally recognized as the Democratic nominee earlier last month by a virtual vote. The party rallied around Hillary once Biden endorsed her and pulled out of the race.
Once President Joe Biden withdrew from the race due to growing worries about his age, especially following his dismal performance in the June debate with Donald Trump, Harris was able to capture her party's candidacy for president. Trump, on the other side, is planning to return to the Oval Office following a painful loss in 2020.
Harris has already named Tim Walz, the governor of Minnesota, as her vice presidential candidate. Walz, 60, was chosen from a group of likely contenders who were more well-known and hailing from places with an advantage in politics.
On Tuesday, the former president of the United States will deliver a speech at the convention, with the topic being "A Bold Vision for the Future." The former president of the United States Bill Clinton and the former speaker of the California House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi will speak at the conference on Wednesday under the banner of "A Fight for Freedom," the source said.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff are among the speakers scheduled to appear this week, according to DNC officials.
On Wednesday, Mike Waltz, who is anticipated to accept the vice presidential nomination formally, will take the stage. Waltz is running mate to Kamala Harris. Harris will officially receive the nomination for president during Thursday's speech, which is dedicated to the subject "For the Future."
Harris, who had a bus tour of Pennsylvania over the weekend, will get to the convention quickly. The city of Milwaukee, where Trump received the Republican presidential nomination last month, will also be the site of her Tuesday rally. The convention usually has a roll call vote to officially nominate candidates for president and vice president. But earlier this month, after Harris won a virtual roll call with the majority of delegates, she formally became the presidential nominee.
