New York. Former US President Barack Obama praised Vice President Kamala Harris and said, America is ready to start a new chapter with Harris. Addressing the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, he said, Harris is fully prepared for the US presidency and America is waiting for a new chapter. We have a chance to choose a person who has spent his whole life trying to give equal opportunities to the people. I had the honor of accepting this party’s nomination for the presidency 16 years ago.
Obama said, I can say without question that my first major decision as your candidate was to choose one of your best friends. History will remember Joe Biden as a great president. He defended democracy at a time of great danger. I am proud to call him president and even prouder to call him my friend. Praising Harris, Obama said, after the mortgage crisis, she pressured me and my administration to get a fair solution for homeowners.
Obama said that Harris and Tim Walz believe in an America that is inclusive. I think most Americans understand that the spirit of mutual respect should be part of our message. The former US President told the Democrats that Harris will focus on your problems and she will not only meet the needs of her voters but will also punish those who do not bow before the law.
