Democratic National Convention kicks off in Chicago. Democrats are set to celebrate their Kamala Harris-inspired renaissance in Chicago this week. Less than a month after the vice president’s ascent lifted the party’s election hopes. And injected fresh and happy vibes into a campaign. That was once beset by dread over President Joe Biden’s dismal prospects.
When Republicans convened in Milwaukee for their convention last month, many fans of former President Donald Trump expected a resounding victory in November. But Biden’s choice to “stand down” just days after the GOP event has flipped the contest. Harris and recently appointed running mate Tim Walz . The governor of Minnesota, have pushed the race to a virtual standstill, with no clear winner in the most recent CNN survey of polls.
Democrats are ecstatic as the party’s leading lights arrive in Chicago, with a suddenly beloved Biden — at least among liberal partisans grateful for his decision — set to kick off the celebrations by passing the torch to Harris, the first Black woman to become a major party nominee, who has flown out of the gate with a populist economic message and a renewed commitment to protecting reproductive rights.
Despite the excitement, campaign and convention planners must to address a number of complex issues. Israel’s war in Gaza, despite ongoing ceasefire discussions. Democratic National Convention kicks off in Chicago Is already in its tenth month since Hamas’ October 7 attacks. The civilian death toll is mounting, and anti-war groups are outrage. Tens of thousands of protesters are expected to gather outside the convention’s security barrier. Perhaps creating a surreal split-screen if party leaders largely ignore the issue onstage.
