Joe Biden is scheduled to address the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on Monday night, marking what may be his final appearance on stage. This comes after his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race and the party's shift in support towards Kamala Harris. Thousands of protesters have gathered in the city to demand an end to US military aid to Israel, while other Democrats are set to take the stage, including up-and-coming politicians. Biden is expected to give a full-throated endorsement of Harris, who will formally accept the nomination. The convention has seen speeches criticizing Trump's handling of the pandemic, with tonight's events beginning at 5:30 pm local time.

Cornel West
Democratic Party
1. This is not about some Machiavellian politics or some utilitarian calculation about an election.
Kathy Castor
Federal Emergency Management Agency
1. Joe Biden made a selfless, heroic decision, and it'll be awesome to celebrate him tonight.
Medea Benjamin
US Senate Intelligence Committee
1. There's an incredible discrepancy in what people are calling for in this country and what the administration is doing.
Chris Coons
Democratic Party
1. I'm excited that we're kicking off our campaign by celebrating just how much Joe Biden got done at home and abroad. He's got a longer record of accomplishment than we could possibly celebrate tonight but I'm grateful to play some small part in doing it.
Tim Walz
Democratic Party
1. People don't just want to vote against something. They want to vote for something.
Cedric Richmond
Democratic Party
1. Because she had experience as a prosecutor, experience as an attorney general. She was an effective and forceful US senator. He's going to make sure that people understand that he picked her because she was great, she was a great partner, and that she's going to be a great next president of the United States.
2. What he's going to say, in part, is that he picked Kamala Harris to be his running mate because she was brilliant.
David Axelrod
Democratic Party
1. And given where we were a few weeks ago, that's a fantastic place to be. This race is now very close.
2. Yes it's largely tied across the battleground and she's a point or two behind in the sun belt states.
Donald Trump
Republican Party
1. Tax credits and tax incentives are not generally a very good thing.
