Joe Biden will deliver his political swan song tonight at the Democratic National Convention as Kamala Harris will accept the presidential nomination in Chicago but the Bidens will not stay put at Chicago to attend Kamala Harris’ event scheduled on Thursday. They will fly to California for a six-day vacation and they will not be there to attend former president Barack Obama’s speech at the convention either.In fact, Republicans claimed that Barack Obama will neither stay for Kamala’s speech hinting at a massive internal feud among the Democrats.
Tonight, Joe will be surrounded by family; first lady Jill Biden will give remarks; and he will enjoy tributes from various speakers. Delegates will receive a gift bag that includes “Cup of Joe” coffee and digital banners will read “Spread the Faith,” in reference to a line he frequently delivers at the end of speeches. A group of his campaign staffers from 2020 are planning to gather for a party on Monday night, the Washington
The timing of Biden’s California trip has set the tongues wagging as it is being seen as a pre-planned move on part of the Bidens to stay away from the rest of the convention. Biden is upset with Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer for their role in forcing Biden out of the race.
Though Biden endorsed Kamala Harris, he did not hide his resentment over the push that he faced from the party veterans including his long-time ally Nancy Pelosi.
“A number of my Democratic colleagues in the House and Senate thought that I was going to hurt them in the races. And I was concerned if I stayed in the race, that would be the topic — you’d be interviewing me about why did Nancy Pelosi say [something],” he said in a recent interview.
A month ago, this convention was going to be about his vision for his second term and he was scheduled to deliver the speech on Day 4. But now he would deliver the speech on the first day and when the curtains come down on the convention, Biden will be long gone.
