CHICAGO — Barack Obama cautioned the party faithful not to get distracted by the excitement building since Kamala Harris swiftly ascended to the top of the Democratic ticket as the former president capped off a night of powerful speeches at the Democ
ratic National Convention.
"Now it’s up to all of us to fight for the America we believe," Obama said to immense applause from thousands of supporters. "His limited, narrow view of the world made him feel threatened by the existence of two hard-working, highly-educated, successful people who happened to be Black," Michelle Obama said.
"It's really striking to see what the convention is now compared to what it might have been when Biden was still in the race," said Matthew Lebo, a specialist in U.S. politics at Western University in London, Ont. Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet said he received an invite to attend, and his presence is a product of his efforts over the last few years to"rebuild credibility for the idea of sovereignty."
On the contrary, she added, deepening supply chains and bilateral relationships makes both economies more resilient, self-sufficient and effective.
