2024 DNC Kicks Off in Chicago: Biden Passes Baton to Harris, Clinton Lauds Progress, and Protests Ensue

2024 DNC: Updates from Chicago as Convention Begins

Chicago: The excitement was palpable in the city last night as the Democratic National Convention (DNC) kicked off in full swing. President Joe Biden made his final address while passing the baton to Vice President Kamala Harris as their prospective nominee for the 2024 Presidential Election.

Biden’s Address

The evening was rounded off by the incumbent President, Joe Biden, who addressed the crowd in what was seen as a passing of the torch. During his address, Biden not only aimed his sharp criticisms at the former President Donald Trump but also took the opportunity to highlight the accomplishments of his tenure. The main goal of the address was to bolster the campaign of VP Kamala Harris, who aims to earn a four-year term in the White House this coming November.

Raucous Ovation for Clinton

Another highlight of the night was the raucous ovation received by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Clinton used her time on stage to heap praises on Harris’s march toward a potentially historical moment in the political landscape. Aside from Clinton, other notable quirks of the convention included vocal critiques of Trump by figures such as Steve Kerr and Andy Beshear.

Protests and Peaceful Demonstrations

Outside the United Center, a handful of protesters were reported to have breached a barrier earlier in the day. Yet, the protestors did little to mar the spirits inside the center, where politicians like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez received enthusiastic applauses.

Looking Forward

The DNC continues today with highly anticipated speeches from former President Barack Obama and Governor Pritzker. The excitement isn’t contained to the convention center, though. Curious citizens are also eagerly scanning the full schedule, wondering who among the Democratic Party’s luminaries will be speaking tonight and what they will say.

As Chicago plays host to what promises to be a DNC of historical precedents, the national and global spotlight shines on Vice President Kamala Harris. The coming days will surely be an exhilarating rollercoaster of political discourse, strategizing, and potential history-making moments.
