Biden and Harris Shine in the Spotlight
By Jonathan Allen and Natasha Korecki
President Joe Biden praised his presidency and urged fellow Democrats to support Vice President Kamala Harris as his successor in an emotional speech at the convention. The night was filled with thunderous applause and chants of “Thank you, Joe,” as delegates paid tribute to Biden’s political career.
Hillary Clinton also took the stage, passing the torch to Harris and emphasizing the progress possible for women in politics. The audience responded with tears and applause as they witnessed history in the making.
Despite the cheers, Chuck Todd reflects on the complexities of Biden’s legacy as a one-term president. The Democratic Party is filled with hyperbole as they seek to justify Biden’s exit and lay out a soft landing for his political journey.
