During the DemocraticConvention, former First Lady Michelle Obama vouched for Joe Biden's empathy and experience, while Andrew Cuomo and the family of the late George Floyd also made appearances
The family of George Floyd, the Minnesota man whose death sparked a national awakening on racial injustice, led a moment of silence Monday night in the early moments of the Democratic National Convention. One of Floyd's brothers, Philonise, stood alongside another brother, Rodney, and praised the sweeping protests that followed their brother's death.
"My friends, I say to you, and to everyone who supported other candidates in this primary and to those who may have voted for Donald Trump in the last election: The future of our democracy is at stake. The future of our economy is at stake. The future of our planet is at stake," Sanders declared. Republicans face a similar challenge next week. Trump sought to undermine the Democrats' big night by hosting a political rally in Wisconsin, where Biden's party had originally planned this week's convention. He called the Democrats' event"a snooze" before it even began."You know when you hear a speech is taped, it’s like there is nothing very exciting about it, right?" the Republican president said.
California Sen. Harris, the first Black woman on a national ticket, speaks Wednesday. Michelle Obama, whom Gallup determined was the nation's most admired woman last year, described Biden as a"profoundly decent man" in a video excerpt of her remarks recorded at least six days earlier."He was a terrific vice president," she said of the man who served for eight years as her husband's No. 2.
