00:00U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris made a surprise appearance at the Democratic Convention in
00:07Chicago to pay a tribute to U.S. President Joe Biden.
00:11This is going to be a great week. And I want to kick us off by celebrating our incredible
00:22President Joe Biden. Joe, thank you for your historic leadership, for your lifetime of
00:29service to our nation, and for all you will continue to do. We are forever grateful to
00:35you.
00:36Four weeks ago, Biden stepped aside as the party's presidential nominee to make way for
00:41his running mate, Kamala Harris. The convention holds particularly high stakes for the party
00:47as it will showcase the new presidential nominee's policy objectives.
00:54Hillary Clinton also made an appearance at the convention. The former Secretary of State
00:59applauded Harris for working towards breaking what she calls the highest and hardest glass
01:04ceiling.
01:06Also on the opening day of the DNC, thousands of marchers took to the streets in a mostly
01:11peaceful protest calling for an end to the war in Gaza. Several demonstrators were arrested
01:17after breaking through a fence set up by the police.
