So far, speakers at the Democratic National Convention have focused on touting presidential nominee Joe Biden’s character, compassion, and experience.

Kamala Harris, will “build America back better” after the COVID-19 crisis and our current recession.

“I am asking you to believe in Joe and Kamala’s ability to lead this country out of dark times and build it back better,” former President Barack Obama said in his impassioned prime-time plea.
