Joe Biden's farewell to star-studded event: Sneak peek at 'joyful' DNC as Kamala Harris' real test just begins
Hindustan TimesIt was Kamala Harris' big night Thursday but she wasn't the only US Democrat to knock it out of the park during a week of rousing speeches, celebrity cameos and lashings of hope and joy. Democratic presidential nominee and U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris, her husband Doug Emhoff, Democratic vice presidential nominee Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, and his wife Gwen stand onstage on Day 4 of the Democratic National Convention at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois, U.S., August 22, 2024. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz's 17-year-old son Gus touched a nation as he wiped away joyous tears, pointed to his father accepting the vice presidential nomination and sobbed: "That's my dad!" The 44th president got the night's biggest laugh as he goaded Donald Trump over the Republican's "obsession with crowd sizes." But he was upstaged by the former first lady -- by far the country's most popular Democrat -- who spoke of the "contagious power of hope" in the most cheered speech of the week.
