CHICAGO: Kamala Harris is poised to deliver the biggest speech of her political life on Thursday (Aug 22) as she accepts the Democratic presidential nomination in Chicago after a historic turnaround in the 2024 White House race.
Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris is introduced during the Democratic National Convention Monday, Aug. 19, 2024, in Chicago. CHICAGO: Kamala Harris is poised to deliver the biggest speech of her political life on Thursday as she accepts the Democratic presidential nomination in Chicago after a historic turnaround in the 2024 White House race.
"To the best partner, I could ask for: Happy anniversary, Dougie," the Vice President wrote, while he said:"Forever to go. Happy anniversary @VP. I love you." A trailblazer as the first woman, Black and South Asian vice president in US history - and now bidding to become its first woman president - her role has largely kept her in the background the last four years.Harris will seek to remedy that in her speech. She will talk about how she was raised by a working mother and knows the challenges facing families hit by inflation, a campaign official said on condition of anonymity.
But Harris has been short on policy announcements since taking over as the Democratic standard-bearer, particularly when it comes to the economy, a key issue in the election. If the transition has been head-spinning for Biden and the Democrats, it has completely unsettled Trump.
