Democrats in the United States are rejoicing over Kamala Harris' recent triumph
In a grand celebration, the Democratic National Convention was held to nominate Kamala Harris as the party's presidential candidate for the upcoming election in November. The event was marked by great joy, particularly in Chicago, as Democrats gathered to elect their nominee.
The Democratic Party, founded in 1828, is one of the two major political parties in the United States. The party's mascot is the donkey, and its color is blue. Harris, a prominent Democrat, has been endorsed by several influential figures within the party, including former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama. Obama stated that Harris can do the job and emphasized the need to fight to ensure her victory against the Republican candidate, Donald Trump.
The role and power of the president can vary significantly between different countries. In the United States, the president is the most powerful politician, a position that Harris aims to fill if elected. As the head of state, the president holds considerable influence over foreign policy, immigration, and the economy.
In contrast, the head of government in Germany, and many other countries, has more power than the president. This power dynamic is a common feature in many political systems across the globe.
The Democratic Party's platform for the presidential election outlines their policy objectives based on these key issues. Harris aims to pursue policies differently than those of Donald Trump, offering a fresh approach to the challenges facing the nation.
The nomination of Harris was largely symbolic, as delegates had already voted for her online. Despite initial opposition within his party due to perceptions of his age, Joe Biden gave a speech at the convention, expressing his support for Harris and his determination to defeat Trump in November.
The Republican Party, founded in 1854, is the other major political party in the United States. The party's mascot is the elephant, and its color is red. Trump, the Republican candidate, has yet to comment on Harris's nomination, but the election is expected to be a closely contested race.
As the nation prepares for the November election, the focus will be on the candidates and their policies. The Democratic National Convention marked a significant milestone in Harris's campaign, and the race is now officially underway.
