Harris, the first Black woman and Asian-American on a major US presidential ticket, shared her life story as a representation of the American dream during the Democratic National Convention. She criticized Donald Trump's leadership failures for causing loss of lives and jobs. Former President Barack Obama also criticized Trump for his failures leading to 170,000 coronavirus deaths, loss of jobs, and tarnishing America's reputation. The event was dominated by female speakers and moderators, with Harris targeting women, young Americans, and voters of color in her case against Trump. She stated that the chaos, incompetence, and callousness of the current administration have left Americans feeling adrift, afraid, and alone. The speaker expressed that there is a lot at stake and believes that there is room for improvement. She criticized the current president for using tragedies for political gain and expressed confidence that Joe Biden will approach challenges with a sense of purpose. Biden is currently leading Trump in polls, especially among women voters. Throughout the convention, Democrats have been targeting women voters by emphasizing Biden's role in co-sponsoring the Violence Against Women Act of 1994 and his plans to improve childcare and protect family healthcare benefits. Obama, who served as vice president under Biden from 2009-2017, expressed disappointment that Trump did not take the presidency seriously or show respect for American democracy. Obama criticized Trump for not growing into the role and stated that the consequences of his failure have been severe, including the loss of millions of jobs. "Our worst impulses unleashed, our proud reputation around the world badly diminished, and our democratic institutions threatened like never before," Obama stated. Biden, 77, faces added significance in choosing a running mate, as he would be the oldest person to become president if elected. Speculation about his age has led to suggestions he may serve only one term, making Harris, 55, a potential top contender for the nomination in 2024. Biden selected Harris as his running mate last week to challenge incumbents Trump, 74, and Vice President Mike Pence, 61. Hillary Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee, shared at the convention that she frequently hears from voters who regret supporting Trump or not voting at all. Clinton stressed the importance of voting in the upcoming election, emphasizing that it cannot be another missed opportunity. She highlighted the significance of every vote, stating that it is crucial to vote as if our lives and livelihoods depend on it. Clinton also pointed out the possibility of winning the popular vote but still losing the election, as seen in her own experience against Trump. She urged for a strong victory for Biden and Harris, warning that even a substantial margin in the popular vote may not guarantee success in winning the White House. According to me, it is crucial to have a large number of votes to prevent Trump from winning through deceit or theft. Democrats are concerned about Trump's attacks on mail-in voting and changes at the US Postal Service that could impact the election. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, a Trump supporter, has made changes that could cause delays in mail delivery during the election season. DeJoy has announced that he will postpone these changes until after the election. Democrats have also shared videos highlighting Trump's immigration policies, opposition to gun control, and withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement. Nancy Pelosi, the first woman Speaker of the US House of Representatives, pointed out Trump's lack of respect for facts, working families, and women, which is evident in his policies. Senator Elizabeth Warren highlighted Biden's plan to make childcare more affordable as essential for helping working Americans. Harris will have a chance to discuss her immigrant background and her accomplishments in breaking gender and racial barriers. She became well-known in the Senate for her thorough questioning of Trump nominees, such as Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh and Attorney General Bill Barr. The Republican National Convention, which will also be mostly virtual, is scheduled for next week.
