DNC KICKS OFF
The world’s attention has once again turned towards the US election as the Democratic National Convention kicks off in Chicago, with Kamala Harris set to formally accept the party’s presidential nomination.
President Joe Biden will headline the first night of the convention with a farewell speech that only a few weeks ago he had no intention of giving. Instead of setting out his plan to win a second term in office, Biden will use his speech to highlight how his vice president is the best person to carry on his legacy, The New York Times reports.
