President Joe Biden will deliver a farewell address at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on Monday, marking the end of his presidency and officially passing the torch to Kamala Harris as the party's nominee for the upcoming election. Less than a month after his unexpected withdrawal, Biden is expected to receive a warm send-off from Democrats, despite concerns about his age that led to his stepping aside.
Harris, the first female, Black, and South Asian vice president, is poised to continue the fight Biden started, particularly against Republican rival Donald Trump. The two will share a symbolic moment on stage, emphasizing unity within the party. However, protests against the Biden-Harris administration’s support for Israel’s actions in Gaza are expected in Chicago.
As Biden transitions into his new role as a lame-duck president, he remains confident in Harris's ability to lead, though he acknowledges that his legacy will be tied to her success. Meanwhile, Trump struggles to recalibrate his campaign in response to Harris's rising momentum, as Democrats rally behind their new leader.
