President Joe Biden will deliver the keynote address Monday night at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. This marks a symbolic transfer of his party's leadership to Vice President Kamala Harris and underscores the threat he believes Donald Trump poses if he returns to office.
Biden ended his reelection campaign four weeks ago, facing doubts from his party about his chances against the Republican nominee. He is poised to be warmly received by the same officials who earlier hoped he would step aside.
The president plans to argue that Harris must defeat Trump and will highlight some of his achievements before stepping out of the spotlight. His endorsement of Harris facilitated a smooth transition without internal conflict.
