Vice President Kamala Harris will soon eulogize Representative Sheila Jackson Lee, a Texas Democrat who died last month. Delegates have begun their five-day online roll call to formally pick Ms. Harris as their nominee.
Vice President Kamala Harris is set to speak this afternoon at a memorial service in Houston for Representative Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas, a longtime voice for racial justice and progressive causes who died last month. She will deliver a eulogy hours after Democrats began a five-day online roll call to formally select her as their party’s nominee.
She will return to Washington this evening to greet the Americans released in a prisoner swap with Russia alongside President Biden. The freeing of Evan Gershkovich, a Wall Street Journal reporter, and others delivers a diplomatic victory for Mr. Biden — blunting the suggestion by former President Donald J. Trump, in May, that securing the journalist’s release would hinge on him getting back into office.
