US 5 Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota, Harris’ running mate, will also speak at the convention; Harris is scheduled to speak on the final day.
Jaime Harrison, the chair of the Democratic National Committee, called the energy “through the roof.” “The momentum is already on our side, and I hope that this convention will create an even bigger wave of momentum,” he continued.
Since Biden withdrew, polls have begun to shift in favor of Democrats. The race is still close, though. According to a RealClearPolitics survey that averages US polls, 48.1 percent of respondents support Harris, while 46.7 percent support former President Donald Trump.
