No interest in finding common ground, no interest in using the awesome power of the office for anyone but himself and his friends, no interest in treating the presidency as anything but one more reality show that he can use to get attention and praise.
5. The program also put a spotlight on former Arizona Representative Gabrielle Giffords, a survivor of a mass shooting whose astronaut husband is now a rising Democratic star, leaving Obama as one of only two men speaking.
6. It focused on focus on gun violence, featuring a mother whose 13-year-old son was a shooting victim.
7. She assured people to make a thriving and stable economy by fixing the loss and what is broken to the families by including wealthy pay their fair share, holding corporations accountable, repairing racial inequities and fighting corruption in Washington.
8. The theme of the program includes immigration reform, women’s rights, domestic violence and economic equality.
The Biden team hopes Harris’s historic nomination will help nail down votes from African Americans, young voters and women, delivering the former vice president with a winning margin too. For Harris personally, the nomination thrust her into the role of the party’s standard-bearer after a disappointing 2020 presidential campaign that crackled before the first primary votes were ever cast.
