President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden have decided to skip Kamala Harris’ nomination speech. It has been noted that Biden will deliver a farewell address at the Democratic National Convention today, symbolically passing the torch to Vice President Kamala Harris, the party’s nominee.
Following his speech, Biden and First Lady Jill Biden plan to leave the convention, not attending Harris’s nomination speech later this week. This decision follows Biden’s recent withdrawal from the presidential race.
Biden is seemingly frustrated with Nancy Pelosi due to her perceived role in pushing him to exit the presidential race. He labeled her as “ruthless,” prioritizing party strategy over personal relationships, which has strained their long-standing friendship.
Biden respects her actions. However, he feels betrayed by how Democratic leaders, including Barack Obama and Chuck Schumer, have handled the situation.
Kamala Harris will deliver her speech at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) on Thursday, August 22, 2024. This speech will mark her formal acceptance of the party’s presidential nomination. The DNC runs from August 19 to August 22 in Chicago.
There is no evidence that President Joe Biden has been removed through a coup. However, some political figures, including Donald Trump, have described Biden’s exit from the 2024 presidential race as a “coup” orchestrated by Democrats, suggesting he was pressured to withdraw due to concerns over his performance and age.
