Joe Biden and the Democrats are highlighting the party’s inclusive “big tent” Monday night as their 2020 National Convention gets underway with a lineup that features as many former Republican governors as “democratic socialists” — along with the star power of Michelle Obama.
The former first lady will stress Biden’s competency and character in a keynote address expected to draw sharp contrasts between the Republican incumbent seeking reelection and the man who was her husband’s two-term vice president, an adviser said.
“This election is very personal for her,” Valerie Jarrett, a longtime adviser to Barack and Michelle Obama, told The Associated Press.
The first national political convention of the coronavirus era will be unique for its logistical challenges. The all-virtual affair will be the first without a central meeting place or cheering throngs. Republicans face the same challenge next week.
