US vice president and democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, made an unexpected appearance at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) on Monday night. Harris was initially scheduled to appear later alongside President Joe Biden, the keynote speaker of the evening. However, she surprised attendees by taking the stage early on the first night of the four-day event in Chicago.
Harris began her speech by honouring President Biden, saying, “I want to kick us off by celebrating our incredible president, Joe Biden, who will be speaking later tonight.Joe, thank you for your historic leadership, your lifetime of service to our nation, and for all you will continue to do. We are forever grateful to you.”
“Let us fight for the ideals we hold dear, and let us always remember, when we fight, we win!,” Harris said.

“Let us fight for the ideals we hold dear, and let us always remember, when we fight, we win!,” Harris said.
Biden stepped aside from the presidential race last month, a move influenced by concerns of fellow party leaders about the 81-year-old incumbent’s age and ability to serve another term.
In his address, President Biden is set to discuss the achievements of his administration and endorse Kamala’s run against Republican candidate and former president Donald Trump.
Traditionally, the convention features a roll call vote to officially nominate the presidential and vice-presidential candidates. However, Harris has already solidified her position as the presidential nominee earlier this month when she secured a majority of delegates through a virtual roll call process.
