Democrats Wrapping Up Their Convention

CHICAGO (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris will close out the Democratic National Convention when she accepts her party’s historic presidential nomination. Harris will lay out her vision Thursday night for the country and prosecute her case against Republican Donald Trump, capping a whirlwind month that began when President Joe Biden ended his reelection bid and endorsed her to replace him atop the Democratic ticket. On Wednesday, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz accepted the vice presidential nomination and thanked the packed Chicago arena for “bringing the joy” to the election. Also speaking Thursday are Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper, civil rights leader Al Sharpton and Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers.
