Kamala Harris is expected to speak about her past experiences.

The Democratic Party Convention, a four-day major event that saw a tearful farewell to Joe Biden and a surprise appearance by Kamala Harris in a tan suit, ends today.

1. On the fourth day, Kamala Harris will deliver the biggest and most important speech of her political life when she accepts the nomination for president. She will be the second woman in the party’s history to receive the nomination.

2. The foundation for her achievement was laid by her boss, US President Joe Biden, who said: “She is tough, experienced and has tremendous integrity. Her story represents the best of American history.” Barack Obama changed his 2008 campaign slogan “Yes We Can” to “Yes, She Can” to praise Ms. Harris. Meanwhile, Michelle Obama called Kamala Harris’ story “the embodiment of the stories we talk about in this country.”

3. Kamala Harris is expected to speak about her experiences so far and her life story from a successful lawyer to the first black South Asian vice president in American history. The experienced lawyer will present her case to delegates at the United Center Arena in Chicago.

4. From Barack and Michelle Obama to Bill Clinton, senior figures have warned all week that Ms Harris faces a brutal fight to defeat the 78-year-old Trump.

5. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz accepted the vice presidential nomination yesterday. He called it the “honor of a lifetime” and told of his childhood in a middle-class family in Nebraska, his experiences as a teacher and helping his family on the farm. These stories are intended to appeal to the broader American middle class, which is suffering from an economic downturn with inflation and unemployment.

6. On the third day of the event, Mr. Walz’s son, Gus, took the spotlight. The 17-year-old, who has neurodiversity and ADHD, was overcome with emotion as he watched his father take the stage. With tears streaming down his face, Gus stood up, proudly pointed to his father and shouted, “That’s my dad!”

7. Celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey endorsed the party’s candidates. Ms. Winfrey made a surprise appearance yesterday, saying: “We will elect Kamala Harris to be the next president of the United States. And let’s elect joy!” Winfrey said a day after former President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle addressed the DNC.

8. The chemistry between Harris, 59, and Walz and the loud energy at their rallies are fueling Democrats’ hopes of defeating Donald Trump.

9. A recent poll shows Kamala Harris narrowly ahead of her Republican rival Donald Trump in the upcoming presidential election. The four-point lead is a small but notable improvement for Democrats in the campaign, a month after polls showed a neck-and-neck race between then-presidential candidate Joe Biden and Trump.

10. Immigration will be a key issue in the upcoming presidential election. A slowing economy that leads to unemployment and inflation is having a profound impact on attitudes toward immigration. Immigrants fear a second term for Trump, who is a staunch hardliner on such issues.
