Biden to Keynote at DNC Opening Night

President Joe Biden, who recently dropped out of the 2024 presidential race, is expected to deliver a keynote speech on the opening night of the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago on August 19. This marks a shift from his initial role of delivering the closing remarks. The DNC will focus on Biden's legacy before transitioning to Vice President Kamala Harris, who has secured the Democratic nomination. Prominent figures like former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton will also speak, although their exact schedules are not finalized. Harris's running mate will be announced next week, with a campaign rally planned in Philadelphia. The convention will emphasize uniting the party to defeat former President Donald Trump in the upcoming election.
