Harris, Whitney Houston and ‘We ❤️ Joe’ signs: The DNC is a big lovefest
LA TimesVice President Kamala Harris embraces President Biden after his speech Monday night at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. After President Biden completed his rousing, late-night speech, Vice President Kamala Harris hugged him and appeared to say, “I love you,” according to several reports. Biden’s speech had also been preceded by another amorous song: Jackie Wilson’s “ Higher and Higher.” In a divisive presidential campaign, the tenderness on display Monday felt, at least to some, like a palate cleanser. “I love the job, but I love my country more.” Rep. Robert Garcia of Long Beach, center, and fellow members of the California delegation cheer President Biden at the Democratic National Convention on Monday. During Biden’s speech, convention attendees chanted, “We love Joe.” And they held signs that said “We ❤️ Joe.” Lovey-dovey, indeed.
