CHICAGO — The wave of energy surrounding Vice President Kamala Harris’ candidacy hit a new peak with former President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama’s raucous homecoming here Tuesday night at the Democratic National Convention.
Greeted by chants of “Yes We Can,” a chant that invokes his 2008 victory speech, Barack Obama closed the second day of the party’s political pep rally by honoring President Joe Biden and arguing Kamala Harris is prepared for the top job.
“This is a person who has spent her life fighting on behalf of people who need a voice and want a champion,” he said.
