Democrats to Kick Off National Convention in Chicago #

The Democratic Party’s national convention will begin on Monday in Chicago, following various changes in the presidential race. Vice President Kamala Harris secured the party’s nomination after President Biden withdrew from the race, and she selected Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota as her running mate. The four-night convention will focus on different themes each night: Monday will highlight President Biden’s record and public service, Tuesday will contrast the party’s optimism with Republican perspectives, Wednesday will emphasize the importance of protecting fundamental rights, and Thursday will showcase Harris’ historic nomination and frame Trump as a national threat.
