President Joe Biden is gearing up for a significant moment as he prepares to deliver his keynote speech at the Democratic National Convention. This event comes after the Democratic Party rallied around a new presidential nominee, marking a shift from Biden's previous preparations.
With over five decades in politics, this speech will be one of the most high-profile opportunities for Biden to address the American people as his political career winds down. Just a month ago, Biden withdrew from the 2024 race and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as his chosen successor.
During the convention in Chicago, Biden will advocate for Harris's presidential candidacy in front of thousands of Democratic delegates and party members. This comes after calls from within his party for him to step aside, a move that has earned him goodwill within the Democratic Party.
Biden's speech is expected to focus on making the case for Harris, highlighting their achievements together, and emphasizing the importance of defeating former President Donald Trump, whom Biden sees as a threat to democracy.
As Biden takes the stage at the United Center, he will aim to unify the party behind Harris and set the stage for the upcoming presidential election. His address will be closely watched by both supporters and critics as he makes his final push to secure a Democratic victory in the upcoming election.
