00:00
US Vice President Kamala Harris made a surprise appearance at the opening of the Democratic
00:04
National Convention on Monday night to say that Democrats would be quote, forever grateful
00:09
to President Joe Biden after he agreed to drop out of the 2024 race and endorse Harris
00:15
as his successor. Biden himself, meanwhile, was met with a hero's welcome by the party
00:20
that pushed him out over concerns about his age just weeks ago as he delivered a state
00:25
of the nation style address in which he said that appointing Harris as his VP was the best
00:29
decision of his career and that serving as president was the honor of his lifetime. Let's
00:34
take a listen.
00:37
Because of you, and I'm not exaggerating, because of you, we've had one of the most
00:42
extraordinary four years of progress ever. Period. When I say we, I mean Kamala and me.
00:54
We've had 60 million new jobs, record small business growth, record high stock market,
01:00
record high 401ks, wages up. More Americans have health insurance today than ever before
01:08
in American history.
01:12
Democratic Party grandees are of course out in full force in Chicago for this year's historic
01:16
convention taking to the stage ahead of President Biden on Monday night. Both New York representative
01:22
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and a woman who's been in Harris' shoes before running against
01:27
Donald Trump, of course, Hillary Clinton. Let's take a listen.
01:32
In Kamala Harris, we have a chance to elect a president who is for the middle class because
01:39
she is from the middle class. She understands the urgency of rent checks and groceries and
01:49
prescriptions. She is as committed to our reproductive and civil rights as she is to
01:56
taking on corporate greed. And she is working tirelessly to secure a ceasefire in Gaza and
02:08
bringing hostages home.
02:11
Success is possible but not guaranteed. We have to fight for it and never, ever give
02:19
up. There is always a choice. Do we push forward or pull back? Come together as we the people
02:28
or split into us versus them? That's the choice we face in this election. Kamala has the character,
02:38
experience, and vision to lead us forward.
