Michelle and Barack Obama anoint Kamala Harris at Democratic convention

“Yes, she can!“At the podium of the Democratic convention, Tuesday, August 20 in the evening, Barack Obama capsized the room of the United Center of Chicago: by adapting his old campaign slogan, he affirmed that Kamala Harris is, for him, in line to succeed him. Equally adored by the party’s supporters, his wife, Michelle Obama, spoke before him, declaring that “hope is back”less than three months before the presidential election.

In a festive atmosphere, Democratic representatives from each state took turns to give their support to the current vice-president of the United States, now officially invested as candidate, even if an online vote had already formalized it. “We are ready for President Kamala Harris”hammered home the first black president of the United States, who did not forget to castigate Donald Trump in passing, designated as a “78-year-old billionaire who can’t stop whining” and who “is afraid of losing”.

If she was in Chicago yesterday alongside Joe Biden, the coronation of Kamala Harris by the Obama couple took place in her absence, since the former prosecutor held a rally in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the place of Donald Trump’s inauguration as the Republican Party candidate. She attacked him in particular on the right to abortion, in danger for two years and a decision of the Supreme Court, which has become very conservative following the appointments made by Donald Trump.
