"I've Been Determined To Keep America Moving Forward," Says Joe Biden
Thousands have gathered in Chicago for the four-day Democratic Convention to show their support for Kamala Harris as officially nominated democratic party candidate for the US presidential polls 2024.
US President Joe Biden today addressed the Democratic Convention in Chicago and praised Kamala Harris, who is set to be officially nominated as the party candidate against Republican rival Donald Trump in the 2024 US presidential elections.
Joe Biden, who quit the race to the White House last month, passed the torch to Harris with a hug, saying he gave everything for his country.
The 81-year-old said he has been "determined to keep America moving forward, not going back".
Harris had earlier made a surprise appearance -- Democratic nominees don't normally speak until the final day of the convention -- to heap lavish tribute on her boss.
"I want to kick us off by celebrating our incredible president Joe Biden," she said.
It was the first night of the four-day convention.
