Biden to urge Democrats to unite behind Harris on first day of Chicago convention

Biden abandoned his reelection bid after his disastrous debate against Trump on Jun 27 prompted longtime allies, major donors and other party supporters to demand he step aside.
Trump, meanwhile, plans to campaign this week in battleground states that are likely to determine the outcome of the election.
Some major allies and donors have been urging Trump to steer clear of racial and gender-based insults of Harris and focus his attacks instead on her policy record.
At a small business in southern Pennsylvania, he repeatedly referred to Harris as “Comrade Kamala” in an effort to paint her as a communist at an event to discuss economic policies.
Trump said he would block Nippon Steel’s planned purchase of US Steel and rescind power plant pollution rules put in place by Biden’s administration.
On social media, he said he would reduce crime in cities like Chicago. “THIS IS A WAR ZONE, AND WILL BE HANDLED ACCORDINGLY,” he wrote on social media.
Democrats will also pay tribute on Monday night to their failed 2016 presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, who is expected to speak before Biden. Other speakers will include Biden’s wife, Jill Biden, and his daughter Ashley Biden.
