Updates from the Windy City

The Democratic National Convention is entering its third day in Chicago.

VP Harris made a surprise appearance Monday night to praise President Biden, night one’s headline speaker. The former-almost-nominee received a four-minute ovation as he took the stage and called picking Harris as his VP “the best decision” of his long political career. 

Biden also made headlines by saying the pro-Palestinian protestors “have a point.” As delegates arrived Monday, the protestors broke through a security fence, prompting additional fencing and 13 arrests. 

Last night, former First Lady Michelle Obama and former President Obama took the stage while Harris and running mate Tim Walz held a rally in Milwaukee, WI. Walz will head back to Chicago tonight, joining former President Clinton as tonight’s headliners. Harris will re-take the stage tomorrow night.

CHRISTIAN PERSPECTIVE
No matter who you support in the upcoming election, your first allegiance should be to the King of Kings. When each side is calling for your undying support, remember that you are first and foremost beholden to the One who died for you. 

He himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours, but also for those of the whole world.
