Bernie Sanders to also speak at Chicago conference after rapturous reception for outgoing president on Monday
in July was seminal in securing the Democratic presidential nomination for the current US vice-president, helping to bypass a potentially ugly internal fight.
As Ed Pilkington writes, today’s convention will also see almost 5,000 delegates from all 50 states and US territories will gather on the floor of the United Center to hold what is being billed as a “ceremonial roll call” symbolically to hand the Democratic nomination to Harris. The event will be purely figurative: Harris was already officially elevated into that position two weeks ago through an online vote of delegates.It follows a rousing opening day in Chicago capped by Biden’s electrifying address. Other Monday highlights include a surprise appearance by Harris herself,on Israel. Dozens of protesters appeared to break through one security fence near the convention site and several demonstrators were handcuffed and detained.
