Joe Biden will pass the torch to Kamala Harris for the presidential election at the Democratic convention, which opens on the evening of Monday, August 19.
The streets of Chicago, in the United States, were filled with excitement for the opening of the Democratic convention on Monday, August 19. The name of Kamala Harris, the party’s new hope, was on everyone’s lips. On site, activists hoped to convince young people that Joe Biden’s vice-president was the best choice to make for the election.“Young people are a huge voting bloc”observes a Chicago activist.
The enthusiasm surrounding Kamala Harris is reminiscent of Barack Obama’s early days in the presidential race. In the South Side of Chicago, the former president’s home turf, African-American voters seem won over.Kamala Harris is the candidate who will give everyone a fair chance“, observes one of them. In a church in the city, the pastor also wants to encourage residents to go and vote. Kamala Harris will speak Thursday evening at the Democratic convention.
