Kamala Harris, a black woman and current vice president of the United States, will be nominated as a presidential candidate by the Democrats at this week's Democratic National Convention.
Democrats, after doubts raised by Joe Biden's candidacy, are experiencing a sense of euphoria due to Harris's candidacy.
The objective of the convention is to demonstrate political unity within the party and outline the Democrats' plans for the future, which include reducing inflation, combating climate crisis and controlling weapons.
The US-Israel relationship and stance on the Gaza war are potential threats to Democratic unity. Harris has stated she supports a ceasefire in Gaza.
Harris needs to leave the convention with the party united behind her. She has managed to stimulate Democratic campaign hopes and implemented economic measures that could attract the middle class in key states.
Conclusion: The Democratic National Convention represents a key moment for the party and Harris's candidacy, which could form a springboard for her presidential aspirations, as long as she manages to maintain party unity and overcome potential protests related to foreign policy.
