“I want you to know: I will be the president of all Americans,” he would announce.

Many delegates from all US states wore white.

The color, associated with women’s major political struggles, testifies to their hope that the 59-year-old vice president will defeat Republican candidate Donald Trump on November 5 and become America’s first president.

The former president was “not serious. But if Donald Trump returns to the White House, the consequences will be very serious,” Kamala Harris will strike back, according to extracts from the speech.

The Democratic convention attracted more than 20 million viewers each evening, inspired by Obama’s powerful speeches, for example, or by a concert that sparkled politically.

TMZ, a site specializing in celebrity information, said there were “multiple sources” that Beyonce would be the evening’s big surprise guest.

The mammoth star, who has touched all genres of music, has already given the campaign its anthem with his song “Liberty”, which means freedom in French.

The Democratic candidate, born to a Jamaican father and Indian mother, will discuss his childhood in a middle-class family and his duties as a former California attorney.

According to his campaign team, he will oppose his Republican rival, focusing on the country’s “decline” with a decidedly optimistic view of American destiny.

Polls show Kamala Harris slightly ahead of Donald Trump in national voter intentions.

A “tight” ballot

As in 2016 and 2020 in a few key states, 74 days before the polls is by no means a guarantee of victory.

A lot can happen between now and then. In four astonishing weeks, America has seen its current president, Joe Biden, abandon his candidacy and its former president, Donald Trump, the victim of an assassination attempt.

On Friday, the lines may move again. According to American media, independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy would support the Republican billionaire.

“We are not favorites […]That’s how we see things,” Democratic campaign manager Dan Cantien said Friday during an event organized by Bloomer’s agency.

Immigration

In this battle, Kamala Harris wants to challenge the Republican Party’s defense of liberty, a core value of its rhetoric.

“When Republicans talk about freedom, they’re talking about the freedom for the government to invade your doctor’s office,” his running mate, Tim Walls, attacked Wednesday, referring to the right to abortion, which has been eliminated or severely restricted by many conservative states.

Donald Trump reiterated on Fox News Thursday morning that his rival wants to tilt America toward “communism.”

While traveling in the Mexican border state of Arizona, he accused her of wanting to “open the borders” to illegal immigration — one of his recurring angles of attack.
