President Joe Biden passed the baton to his vice president, Kamala Harris, during the opening night of the 2024 Democratic National Convention. Quoting a song, Biden urged the crowd to elect Harris and Tim Walz as president and vice president of the United States. However, protests outside the convention were raging against Biden’s support of Israel’s war in Gaza, with concerns over human rights abuses. Inside the convention, the focus was on criticizing Republican candidate Donald Trump, who will face Harris in the general election.

Various speakers, including the president of the NAACP, highlighted the diversity of the Democratic Party and celebrated Harris’s candidacy. They also criticized Trump’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, with personal stories shared of loss and blame placed on the former president. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez delivered a fiery speech tearing into Trump’s class politics and championing Harris as a fighter for the middle class.

The night also featured a surprise appearance by Harris to thank Biden for his leadership. Biden’s presidency is winding to a close, as he withdrew from the presidential race, becoming a lame-duck leader until his term ends in January. Speakers praised Biden’s legacy, including his support of workers during a strike.

Overall, the evening highlighted the Democratic Party’s support for Harris and their criticism of Trump, focusing on issues such as diversity, COVID-19 response, and support for the middle class. The convention aimed to energize voters ahead of the general election in November.
