Kamala Harris has landed in Chicago for the Democratic National Convention, where she will be officially confirmed as the party's presidential candidate. She arrived after campaigning in Pennsylvania with her running mate, Tim Walz, while her Republican opponent, Donald Trump, held a rally in the same state.

Harris is set to join President Biden on stage during his address at the convention. Recent polls indicate a tight race between her and Trump in key swing states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. In her speech, she criticized Trump, labeling him a 'coward' for his divisive politics.

The convention will take place over four days, culminating in Harris's primetime speech as she accepts the nomination. Security is heightened in Chicago, anticipating large protests during the event.
