The Democratic National Convention (DNC) is underway in Chicago, where Vice President Kamala Harris will deliver her economic vision. Harris aims to solidify support from her base, including Gen Z and black voters, and appeal to undecided voters in key swing states.
However, she faces challenges, including the need to address the insolvency of the Social Security trust fund and the future of entitlements. The election could be decided by as few as 44,000 votes across three states, and Harris will face 'bad days' on the campaign trail.

While Harris leads in national polls, she must address growing pessimism about the economy and convince voters that she offers a better path forward than the Biden-Harris administration's policies.
The DNC will feature speeches from President Biden, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and other party leaders as they rally around Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz.
