Monday, August 19, 2024. Annette’s News Roundup.

We are back in New York City, but my heart is in Chicago.

This mural greets visitors to the United Center where Kamala Harris will be formally named The Democratic Party’s nominee for President of the United States.

The Road to Chicago.

Yesterday, the Vice President and 2nd Gentleman and her running mate and the soon-to-be 2nd Lady went on a 4 stop bus tour in Pennsylvania. The tour is called “The Road to Chicago.”

This is the Vice President’s 8th visit to Pennsylvania this year.

If you live in Pennsylvania and get a call from an unknown number today, answer the phone!!! pic.twitter.com/yISYY2VIBF

Chicago today.

The low-key venues of Harris’ campaign on Sunday will be replaced with their polar opposite Monday when the Democratic National Convention opens in Chicago, offering a prime-time showcase that director Steven Spielberg is helping to choreograph. (Associated Press).

A Few Tidbits.

BREAKING: Project 2025 HQ is being projected over Donald Trump’s building in Chicago. As much as Donald Trump wants to deny his connection to Project 2025, his record proves he can’t. Retweet so all Americans see this. pic.twitter.com/jG3xC2i8Rh

As delegates arrive on Monday ahead of President Biden's speech, digital signage in the United Center will say: "History is in your hands,” words the President spoke when he announced he would not seek re-election.

JUST IN:

The Democratic National Convention will have different celebrities hosting each night of the four-day convention.
