The Democratic National Convention kicked off in Chicago on Monday with a new ad that riffed on Donald Trump's criminal convictions, underscoring the sharp delineation between the former president and Vice President Kamala Harris, a former prosecutor. Harris previously served as San Francisco district attorney and California state attorney general before arriving in Washington, D.C. to serve in the Senate and later as President Joe Biden veep.
The ad, which played as an introduction to a speech by Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., parodied the television crime drama, "Law and Order."
