Social media influencers are receiving press credentials for the first time in the history of the Democratic National Convention. VOA’s Celia Mendoza has more on this story.
Vice President Kamala Harris closes out the Democratic National Convention Thursday night when she accepts her party’s historic presidential nomination and seizes one of her few remaining opportunities to appeal to an audience of millions.
Harris will lay out her vision 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.
Harris has three objectives for her speech, according to a campaign official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive speech preparations. She’ll share her background, rising from a middle-class family to later help protect others as a prosecutor, contrast her “optimistic” vision with Trump’s “dark” agenda, and evoke a sense of patriotism, the official said.
