Florida Democratic Party Chair Nikki Fried is in Chicago for what she expects will be a memorable convention.
The DNC event is a formality as Vice President Kamala Harris has already secured the democratic nomination for President.
Harris secured the nomination on August 2, 2024, during a virtual roll call vote of Democratic convention delegates and after President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the race in July.
Fried applauded news that Michelle Obama will speak at the event this week along with Joe Biden and Barack Obama.
Fried wrote on X "That is a sign the entire Democratic Party ecosystem is coming together for this historical week to lead us to a historic win."
The Democratic National Convention runs from August 19 to August 22, 2024, in Chicago, where Harris is expected to be formally recognized as the nominee.
