52:47Now PlayingPresident Joe Biden spoke Monday at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, where Kamala Harris will step into the spotlight not as a running mate but at the top of the ticket.
Biden removed himself from the 2024 race in July, kicking off a weekslong whirlwind to name his replacement, find a vice presidential candidate, and unite the party. After Biden threw his support behind Harris, more party Democrats followed soon after, culminating in delegates officially selecting Harris as the nominee in early August.
As the keynote on the first day of the convention, the president walked out to thunderous applause and “We love Joe!” chants.
“Let me ask you, are you ready to vote for freedom? Are you ready to vote for democracy and for America? Let me ask you, are you ready to elect Kamala Harris and Tim Walz?”
During the first day of the convention, delegates formally adopted a party platform. Later in the week, Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz will formally accept their nominations as the party’s candidates.
