- Biden formally inaugurates Harris as a Democrat in their party convention.
President Joe Biden of the United States passed the torch to the Democratic Party's latest frontrunner, Kamala Harris, following his decision to withdraw from the re-election bid. In a rousing speech at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Biden posed the question, "Feeling up for voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz?". He continued, "Feeling ready to vote for liberty?" He emphasized his optimism, stating, "The greatest days aren't in our past, but they're right around the corner." The audience responded with a series of exhortations.
Biden announced his retirement from seeking another term in July. The president faced intense scrutiny from his party members, with concerns about his age and concerns over his mental capability. Harris, however, seized the opportunity and managed to unite the party swiftly around her. Walz, on the other hand, was named as her running mate for the vice presidency.
The withdrawal of President Joe Biden from the re-election bid triggered an election, with Kamala Harris emerging as the Democratic Party's new contender. Kamala Harris is now preparing for the upcoming election, aiming to uphold the values and policies established during Biden's presidency.
