Biden To Pass Torch To Kamala At Democratic National Convention Today

In a poignant farewell address, US President Joe Biden will officially pass the torch to Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic Party’s nominee for the November elections at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago today, Monday.

This marks a significant moment in American political history, as Harris becomes the first female, Black, and South Asian vice president to take the reins.

Biden’s speech is expected to be a bittersweet occasion, as he reflects on his legacy and the future of American democracy.

Despite concerns about his age, Biden will likely receive a hero’s send-off from many Democrats, who appreciate his decision to step aside and allow Harris to take the lead.

The convention will also feature a symbolic moment of unity, as Harris joins Biden on stage for his primetime speech.

However, not everyone is pleased with the Biden-Harris administration’s policies, as a large protest is planned in Chicago against their support for Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza.

As Biden exits the political stage, he leaves behind a complex legacy, with his decision to step aside being seen as a courageous move by many.

Harris, meanwhile, has energized voters and closed the gap with Republican rival Donald Trump in the polls.

The coming weeks will be crucial in determining the outcome of the election and the future of American politics.
