DNC Convention 2024, Democratic National Convention: Joe Biden Receives Emotional Welcome, N18 G

President Joe Biden delivered his valedictory address to the Democratic National Convention on Monday night, as his decision to end his reelection bid released newfound energy within his party with Vice President Kamala Harris elevation to the top of the ticket. After 52 years rising to the pinnacle of influence within his party, Biden, 81, received a heros welcome for the act of stepping aside for Harris, weeks after many in his party were pressuring him to drop his bid for reelection. One month after an unprecedented midcampaign switch from Biden to Harris, the opening night of the convention in Chicago was designed as a handoff from the incumbent to his handpicked successor albeit four years before he intended for her to follow him. , dnc, dncchicago, dnc2024, democraticnationalconvention, joebiden, joebidennews News18 Mobile App
