Democratic National Convention with Gov. John Carney | The Agenda
WILMINGTON, Del. — On this episode of The Agenda, Kerwin Gaines and his returning guest, Governor John Carney, discuss the Democratic National Convention.
Yesterday, August 19, 2024, marked the first day of the Democratic National Convention. Political figures from across the nation are attending the convention at the United Center in Chicago. This year, the convention centers around the theme “For the People.”
In this episode, Gaines and Governor Carney connected virtually and highlight the Democratic National Convention. Additionally, the pair mention President Joe Biden’s speech and Kamala’s running-mate Governor Tim Walz. “President Biden’s speech was not just an endorsement; it was a call to action,” Governor Carney noted. “He made it clear that the party is united behind Harris, and she is more than ready to take on the challenges ahead.”
Governor Carney also reflected on the historical significance of the convention, particularly in light of Biden’s decision not to seek reelection. “This is a pivotal moment for our party,” he said. “Biden’s legacy is secure, but now it’s time to look to the future with Harris at the helm.” The discussion didn’t shy away from the challenges ahead, with Carney highlighting the importance of party unity and the strategic need to secure key demographics and swing states.
