President Biden has officially handed over leadership to Vice President Kamala Harris, marking a significant transition during the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. The first day celebrated Biden’s legacy, while attention now shifts toward the party’s vision for the future.
Convention organizers plan to emphasize the differences between the Harris-Walz campaign and the Trump-Vance ticket. Prominent speakers will include Vice President Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, as well as former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama.
The program is set to evolve as the convention continues, with exciting highlights expected on Tuesday night. A symbolic roll call will take place, showcasing the delegates’ prior votes supporting Vice President Harris as the party’s nominee.
The candidates are also extending their outreach beyond the convention space. Harris and Walz will hold an evening rally in Milwaukee, while Republican nominee Donald Trump and his running mate, J.D. Vance, are scheduled to conduct press conferences addressing public safety issues in Michigan and Wisconsin, respectively.
Main programming for the Democratic National Convention is anticipated to run from approximately 6:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. ET (5:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. CT), building on the engaging discussions from Monday night.
