“Vice President (Kamala) Harris is now carrying the torch,” Romero said. “She and Gov. (Tim) Walz are committed to delivering results for the American people.”

Romero turned her attention to former President Donald Trump, accusing him of fighting for big corporations.

“His extreme agenda is working against everyday Americans” Romero said. “He is fighting for Big Oil, Big Pharma, Big Banks, but most all … he is fighting for himself.”

The first day of the DNC will have its night capped off by a speech from Biden.
