‘The president’s desire is to make a strong case for Harris-Walz and hand off the convention to them, which all week will continue to highlight the Biden-Harris record,’ aides say.
The Democratic National Convention in Chicago, kicking off Monday, will include tributes to President Joe Biden, whose opening-night, prime-time keynote address will make the case for electing Vice President Kamala Harris, the Chicago Sun-Times has learned.
KAMALA, DOUG/TIM, GWEN/BILL, HILLARY HIT CHICAGO SUNDAY: Harris and second gentleman Doug Emhoff arrive in Chicago on Sunday night from Pittsburgh. Harris and Emhoff will attend Monday’s kick off session, where she will get the baton from Biden and be there for the salute to the president. Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, head to Milwaukee for a Tuesday rally, returning to Chicago later in the day.
