DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION Biden to pass torch to Harris
US President Joe Biden was due to give a bittersweet farewell address at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago yesterday, passing the torch to Kamala Harris as the party’s nominee for November’s election.
Less than a month after his stunning withdrawal and Harris’s astonishing ascent, Biden can expect a hero’s send-off from many of the same people who helped push him out due to concerns about his age.
The 81-year-old is expected to say that Harris — America’s first female, Black and South Asian vice president — is the best person to finish the job he started of protecting American democracy from Republican rival Donald Trump.
