As the Democratic National Convention reaches its climax, Vice President Kamala Harris is preparing to accept the party’s presidential nomination and outline her policy agenda in a passionate address. Harris will join her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, on stage, following a series of evenings that featured prominent Democrats emphasizing the party’s stance on various issues. The convention’s freedom-themed evening drew attention to the ongoing fight over reproductive rights, linking the concept to social issues, and criticized the Trump administration’s handling of the US-Mexico border. Outside the United Centre, where the convention is being held, protesters gathered to demonstrate their support for Palestinian and Israeli causes. Despite a violent incident the previous day resulting in 56 arrests, the protesters remained calm, chanting and banging on glass walls as officers brought a person to the ground.
Former President Donald Trump has rejected Democratic efforts to link him to the conservative Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, describing the attempts as “disgraceful.” Trump claims he had no knowledge of the plan, despite it being written by longtime former staffers. He also criticized Governor Walz, calling him a “total lightweight” and lamented the focus on him, saying “It’s like they’re having a party.

They don’t mention the border. All they do is make up lies about me.” Meanwhile, Democrats have emphasized their focus on leadership and policy solutions, rather than stigmatizing immigrants, on the US-Mexico border. Texas Representative Veronica Escobar, from the border city of El Paso, indirectly criticized Trump’s handling of the issue, stating, “Forget what you hear on the news, I’m from there. When it comes to the border, hear me when I say, you know nothing, Donald Trump.” As the convention draws to a close, Harris’s speech will be closely watched, as she seeks to outline her vision and policy agenda for the American people.
The Democratic National Convention is set to conclude with Harris’s speech, which promises to outline the party’s policy agenda in detail. Harris’s address is expected to emphasize the party’s commitment to leadership and policy solutions, rather than stigmatizing immigrants or other groups. The speech will be closely watched, as Harris seeks to inspire the American people and provide a clear vision for the future. With the convention drawing to a close, Harris’s policy agenda is set to take center stage, as she outlines her vision for the country and the priorities of the Democratic Party.
