Obamas & Emhoff to headline DNC on Tue.

Former President Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, and second gentleman Doug Emhoff will be speaking on the second day of the Democratic National Convention, shifting the focus towards Vice President Kamala Harris and her challenge against Republican Donald Trump. The Harris campaign plans to feature trusted messengers from key battleground states over the next three days, including influential figures like Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Sen. Mark Kelly.

Highlighting local leaders who are popular in their home states is a strategic move to appeal to undecided voters and secure electoral votes. The convention aims to build momentum for Harris as she accepts the Democratic presidential nomination on Thursday.

President Joe Biden, energized and determined, emphasized the battle for America’s soul and praised Harris and her running mate Tim Walz. The night also featured a surprise appearance by Harris, expressing gratitude to Biden for his leadership.

The convention, though running behind schedule, was a success in setting the stage for Harris’s campaign push. Harris is scheduled to continue her campaign with a rally in Wisconsin before returning to Chicago.

Overall, the convention has successfully set the tone for the final stretch of the presidential campaign, highlighting unity and determination to secure victory in the upcoming election.
