Reese Witherspoon's father hospitalised after poolside incident in Nashville: Report
All attendees, including Biden and Harris joinedin through video links.The Democratic National Convention is a three-day event.
Day-1 saw performances, political speeches and virtual roundtable conversations. The former first lady, Michelle Obama, was the keynote speaker for the evening. She told the gathering how Donald Trump is "the wrong president for our country".
Through the course of the two hours,the Democrats managed to keep the focus on Trump's failures, especiallyhis handling of the Wuhan virus pandemic.
One of the most powerful speeches of the evening was delivered by Kristin Urquiza, the daughter of a man who lost his battle to the Wuhan virus. Urquiza said her father's only pre-existing condition was trusting Donald Trump.
Then there was New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. He has become one of the most prominent faces in the United States following his daily press briefings about New York's handling of COVID-19.
Ohio's Republican GovernorJohn Kasich also addressed the Democratic convention.
Trump meanwhileput out a tweet which read: "Someone please explain Michelle Obama that Donald Trump would not be here, in this beautiful White House, if it were not for the job done by your husband, Barrack Obama".
Trump also criticised the Obamas for their delayed endorsement of Biden.
The president signed off his response by saying his administration has built the "greatest economy" in history and now it will only get better.
Meanwhile, preparations for Day-2 of the Democratic convention are in full swing.The gathering is expected to hear voices from the education sector, gun law advocates andhealthcare workers. The attendees have also been promised celebrity appearances.
Republicans too are expected to hold their convention in the coming days. However, suspense remains onDonald Trump's vice presidential pick.
