DNC Kicks Off in Chicago: What to Expect from Harris Campaign

The Democratic National Convention (DNC) is set to begin in Chicago, with President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris taking center stage. Harris, who recently announced an economic agenda focused on high food and housing costs, is leading Donald Trump in national polls.

However, analysts wonder if her popularity has already peaked and if protests over the Israeli-Gaza conflict could overshadow the event. The convention is expected to focus more on personalities and creating a positive atmosphere, rather than delving into policy details.

Notable speakers include former Presidents Obama and Clinton, as well as Hillary Clinton and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The convention will outline the party's vision, highlighting the accomplishments of the Biden-Harris administration and contrasting them with Trump's divisive policies.

Protesters are planning marches on issues like Israel-Hamas, adding to the challenges faced by the Democrats. Overall, the DNC is seen as an opportunity for Harris to differentiate herself from Biden and potentially receive a post-convention polling bounce.
