Live Updates: Theme for day 2 of Democratic Convention is “Bold Vision for America’s Future”
US’ four-day National Democratic Convention started yesterday in Chicago with US President Joe Biden’s speech. Joe Biden passed the torch to Kamala Harris as the new official Democratic candidate to run against Donald Trump, month after he quit the US Presidential race.
Several democrates and Kamala Harris’ supporters also delivered speeches during the mega event, including California Representatives Robert Garcia, Maxine Waters, Minnesota Lt Governor Peggy Flanagan, US Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and more.
With the theme “Bold Vision for America’s Future”, Democratic Convention’s day two is likely to witness a ceremonial roll call vote to select the official Democratic Party candidate for US 2024 Presidential polls.

Barack Obama will use the Democratic National Convention in Chicago to anoint Kamala Harris the party’s future on Tuesday and, as the first Black and South Asian woman presidential nominee, heir to his trailblazing legacy.
Obama posted on social media that his convention address will lay out “what’s at stake” and why Harris and her running mate Tim Walz “should be our next president and vice president.”

“In 2012 I got to vote for him, and everyone was pushing Michelle Obama to run for president, but now we have Kamala. So I just think that this is, in a sense, them passing on the torch,” said attendee Tomara Hall, 35, from California.
