Kamala Harris Surprises with Opening Night Appearance at Democratic National Convention

On the first night of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Vice President Kamala Harris made an unexpected appearance, expressing gratitude to President Joe Biden, whom she is set to replace as the party’s nominee, for his “lifetime of service to our nation.” Harris energized the crowd with her statement, “When we fight, we win,” a phrase that has quickly become a rallying cry for Democrats.


The evening also featured speeches from Biden and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, both of whom have been previous presidential nominees. Their presence underscored the party’s shift away from its long-standing leadership as it prepares for a new chapter. The opening night highlighted a sense of transition as Democrats look to the future.
