Washington, (APP – UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News – 17th Aug, 2024) Kamala Harris will be crowned by jubilant Democrats in Chicago this week as the party’s standard-bearer against Donald Trump after one of the most head-spinning turnarounds in US political history.
The 59-year-old vice president and her running mate Tim Walz will be the stars of the Democratic National Convention — with President Joe Biden reduced to a warm-up act after his shock withdrawal from the White House race.
It will be a critical opportunity for Harris, the first Black and South Asian woman to head a major US party ticket, to show Americans her credentials for the Oval Office and ride a wave of excitement into what remains a tight election.
In a remarkable show of unity in front of thousands of delegates, Harris will be backed by three presidents — 81-year-old Biden plus former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton — along with former nominee Hillary Clinton.
