Introduction:
For over a year, President Biden’s message was grim. He claimed that the election threatened the country’s core foundations. If former President Donald J. Trump was re-elected, the United States would face an apocalyptic future.The tone of the campaign has shifted since Mr. Biden’s departure, with Vice President Kamala Harris now leading the Democratic ticket.The presidential campaign heats up when Kamala Harris publicly accepts her party’s nomination. The Federal Reserve’s chairman thinks “the time has come” to decrease interest rates, citing falling inflation and evidence of a weakening labour market. Judy Woodruff also investigates how delegates to the Republican and Democratic conventions mirror the country’s broader political conflicts.Background:In Chicago and Milwaukee, two main conventions, from Democratic party and from Republican party held in which each party had the same goal, energise their voters. Donald Trump said that America’s Future will be bolder, brighter, stronger, greater and more United than ever before. Trump also added that in less than four years their opponents have turned incredible success into unparalleled tragedy and failure.Kamala Harris said that she will be the one who unites the nation around the highest aspirations of the country.The consequences of putting Donald Trump back in the White House are extremely serious. There were also words of condemnation. Kamala Harris hadn’t even become the Democratic nominee when the Republicans met in Wisconsin.Republican Alberto Herrera:Republican Alberto Herrera is from the border town of Mission,Texas.Alberto Herrera, delegate of Texas, said that he loves to say thatAmerica is in a good direction right now. But it’s obviously not the truth.Unfortunately, Donald Trump is going to be blamed for all the stuff that happened in the last four years and he’s going to try to repair it, and according to Alberto, Trump will do the best he can.He also said that, if we as an Americans, we don’t get our act together is doesn’t matter how much of a good president we have. It’s going to be a hard ,hard ride.Christian Figueroa,the California’s delegate:Christian Figueroa,the California’s delegate said that he thinks that the contrast and difference cannot be any clearer. Christian Figueroa is a Democrat from southern California.There is a set of people in the democratic party that seemed over the past few years, at least what I have seen to choose violence, to choose division, to choose anger, to choose retribution as method of leading or so -called leading. Though all agreed political divisions are concerning, delegates had different opinions on what’s behind them.Republican Jesse Franklin: Republican Jesse Franklin, also from california, focused on the media’s influence.He said that I think that People who take the time to really think about every issue for themselves and just look online and turn on the Tv, they may be well intentioned but they’re sometimes misled.Democrat Robert Branscomb:Democrat Robert Branscomb from Arizona said polarization in Washington as part of the problem.He said that I think we got in this place because we entered to the tribalism.We Democrats have our progressive side, Rebulicana have their mega extreme side.And it became unpopular to talk to each other.Robert Branscomb said that if you don’t have abortion rights, then what other rights are you going to take away from us? He said that myself as an African American, we have voters rights, we have social rights. You have transgender, you have the project 2025 talking about the dismantling our government, taking away the educational departments, things like that. So these things really hurt and harm our countryJohn leiber:Wisconsin state treasure, John leiber, served as a GOP delegate in Milwaukee, said that even here in Wisconsin, the friendly atmosphere has broken down in the last couple of decades.Used to be Democratic and Rebulican legislators could meet,go have a beer and talk to each other but today that doesn’t happen.Caleb Fulforf, delegate from Virginia:Caleb Fulforf, delegate from Virginia said that we are not approaching politics like we used to anymore.But the Virginia Democrat placed the bulk of the blame on the rhetoric of the Rebulican side, particularly from the former president.He said that politics used to be a side topic. It used to not be a sort of who you were as a person. We are now in a society where if you are a Republican or a Democrat, I can somehow self identify you with a whole set of moral beliefs, set of judgments and opinions and I think it comes from just like the politics of hate, where it’s Donald Trump, it comes from top down.Alabama Republican delegate Logan Glass:Alabama Republican delegate Logan GlassHe said that president Biden saying things such as it’s time to put the bullseye on Donald Trump, President Biden got what he asked for and I know president Biden didn’t literally mean ,let’s shoot Donald Trump but that sort of divisive rhetoric is not healthy.Michelle Merrell delegate from florida:Michelle Merrell is the Rebulican state committeewoman , delegate from Florida , said that she has so many friends that are immigrants to this country that are proud that they came through the immigration system, the proper way, the legal way. She said that she don’t thinks that others should be able to come across our board in hordes in an illegal way and be here and be sucking up the resources of our government, of our schools, our taxpayers, when they didn’t come here in the right way.Rebulican delegate Susan kokinda:Rebulican delegate Susan kokinda from Michigan pointed the economy. She said that people can’t make it, I’m from detroit area, which created the Middle class, where one income could support a family. But now, five incomes cannot support a family, that’s what has to change.The 2024 Democratic National Convention was a presidential nominating convention in which delegates from the United States Democratic Party voted on their party platform and ceremonially reported their decision to nominate Vice President Kamala Harris for president and her chosen running mate, Governor Tim Walz, for vice president in the 2024 eolection. It took place from August 19 to 22, 2024, at the United Centre in Chicago, Illinois. Delegates virtually nominated Harris and Walz in the first week of August. Harris is the first Black and South Asian woman to be nominated for president by a major political party in the United States, as well as the first Democratic presidential nominee from the Western united States.Adoption of early virtual nomination vote:After Biden’s performance in the June presidential debate sparked alarm among Democrats, some House Democrats circulated a letter on July 16 proposing that the “virtual roll call” vote be cancelled,[ fearing it would take place the following week.Following concerns raised by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, the DNC resolved on July 17 that the virtual roll call vote should not take place before August 1.On July 19, the Democratic National Convention’s Rules Committee met to deliberate on the virtual nomination vote, but went into recess without enacting any rules.Abbreviated campaign:Biden’s withdrawal freed the DNC delegates bound to him from their promise to support for his nomination.A few hours after Biden’s declaration, Harris announced her bid for the Democratic nomination.The Biden campaign formally changed its name to Harris for President, and Harris was officially registered as the presidential candidate.Harris received tentative support from much more convention delegates than the party’s required majority to win the next ballot and become its presidential contender. By July 23, party leaders such as former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer had rallied around Harris’ candidature, along with those mentioned as the other most viable candidates, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and California Governor Gavin Newsom.Vice presidential nomination:Some anticipated contenders included Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, and Michigan Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg. Governor Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan declined consideration for the nomination, and Governor Roy Cooper of North Carolina withdrew his name during the vetting process.Harris selected Walz as her running mate on August 6, and the ticket was certified as nominated that same night.Kamala Harris accepted her party’s nomination:On the fourth and final night of the Democratic National Convention, she became the first Black and South Asian woman named a major-party presidential contender. In her speech, Harris praised President Joe Biden before discussing her background, professional experience, and policy suggestions, as well as criticising former President Donald Trump.Harris’ speech concludes a convention that has included speeches by Biden, former President Bill Clinton, former President Barack Obama, former First Lady Michelle Obama, media mogul Oprah Winfrey in a surprise appearance, and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the vice presidential contender.Harris told NBC News that she’s feeling great after her big speech but is looking ahead to the next stage of her campaignFirst night (Monday, August 19: For the People):On the first night, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, first lady Jill Biden, and daughter Ashley addressed.Harris made a brief surprise appearance on stage to pay honour to Biden and greet the audience.The party platform, draughted by delegates on the Platform Committee, was approved by the entire body of delegates via voice vote.Part of the night served as a eulogy for Biden’s presidency, as it winds to a close after this election.Harris herself made a surprise appearance on stage to thank Biden personally ,saying that ,Joe, thank you for your historic leadership, for your lifetime of service to our nation, and for all you will continue to do. We are forever grateful to you.Biden concluded by praising Harris as a friend and colleague with enormous integrity.He also said that selecting Kamala was the very first decision and was the best decision he made in his whole career.Aslo said that We saved democracy in 2020. And now we must save it again in 2024.Second night (Tuesday, August 20: A Bold Vision for America’s Future):This race isn’t just a choice between two candidates. It’s a choice between two very different visions of America. While Donald Trump believes our best days are behind us, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz know the best days lie ahead.On second night of DNC ,Former first lady Michelle Obama, former president Barack Obama, who delivered the concluding remarks and second gentleman Doug Emhoff were among those who spoke.On this night, Jason Carter, the grandson of former US President Jimmy Carter, delivered a speech in which he honoured his grandfather.

And he did so in populist tones at times reminiscent of the late Minnesota Sen. Paul Wellstone.Democrats made the insurrection, and Trump’s broader effort to overturn the 2020 election results, a focus on Wednesday night.Troye said that my fellow Republicans, you aren’t voting for a Democrat; you’re voting for democracy,You aren’t betraying our party; you’re standing up for our country.Final words:Despite their differences they all agree that, although difficult, but bringing Americans closer together is essential.But it’s not clear that this shift to kinder and gentler atmosphere across the country .Anything can happen any time soon during a season of rough campaign combat with political leaders charging all is lost if the other side prev.
