United States President Joe Biden sent a warning Monday at the Democratic National Convention to Republican candidate Donald Trump ahead of the November elections, in which female voters are expected to be play a central role.
«Trump is going to find out the power of women in 2024,» Biden said, provoking a thunderous ovation in the stadium where the convention is being held.
Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris is positioning abortion as a central issue in her campaign and is confident that this strategy will mobilize female voters, replicating the success achieved in the 2022 midterm elections, when Democrats had better than expected results in Congress.
Biden said Harris would succeed in correcting the decision of the Supreme Court, with a conservative majority sponsored by Trump, to suspend constitutional protections for abortion.
The president said the decision to choose Harris as his vice president was «the best» of his career.
«She is tough and smart,» said Biden, who a month ago renounced re-election and supported Harris, who will be crowned as the party’s candidate on Thursday.
Women will be a key voting group if Democrats finally manage to put a woman in the White House for the first time in history.
Biden said that if Harris becomes the first Black and South Asian woman to be president of the US, she would be an example to all «young women that they can do whatever they set their mind to.»
