Democratic National Convention: Day 4.
The convention culminates with former Vice President Joe Biden accepting the Democratic nomination for president. Listeners hear segments of the keynote speeches the night before by former President Barack Obama and the acceptance speech of Kamala Harris, the vice presidential candidate. A Democratic strategist and delegate, and political analysts comment on the messages by Harris and Obama, the speeches by Hilda Solís on the working class and Michelle Luján-Grisham on the climate crisis, the prospects for the governor of California to designate a Latino or Latina US senator if Biden/Harris win the election, and the potential impact among voters of two news stories: the arrest of a former top Trump advisor and mastermind of Trump’s election under charges of swindling donors who have money for the border wall, and the revelations by a former DHS official accusing Trump of speaking about selling Puerto Rico for being so “dirty.”
