‘Resurrected’ Democrats look toward 2024 convention with renewed hope

Kamala Harris will become the first woman of color to accept a major party’s presidential nomination in American history.

The moment will cap a frenzied few weeks for Democrats , following the vice-president’s sudden ascent to the top of the ticket.

“The Democrats have now been resurrected” said Howard Dean , a former Democratic National Committee chairman and former Vermont governor.

Democrats are rolling out a “blue carpet” for nearly 200 social media influencers who have been credentialed to cover the event like members of the traditional press.

They also signaled a desire to one -up Republicans , whose convention in Milwaukee featured a performance by Kid Rock , but who will provide entertainment remains shrouded in mystery.

Democrats had been accused of resignation, even defeatism, in the tumultuous days after an assassination attempt on Trump ’s life, captured indelibly by the image of him being pulled from the stage with blood on his face and a fist raised in defiance.

“I think we’re still all trying to find words for it because what's happened is so extraordinary,” said Simon Rosenberg , a Democratic strategist.
