Democratic National Convention rolls out the “blue carpet” for participants
Delegates took to the blue carpet of the Democratic National Convention to reveal the inspirations and meanings behind their outfits.
Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval is expected to speak at the Democratic National Convention tonight.
Although Pureval’s address is unlikely to be a prime-time event, there are still ways to watch it.
Pureval is the city’s first Asian-American mayor and a delegate from Ohio. But he also sits on the campaign’s national advisory board for Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris – as he did for President Joe Biden – and is a voting member of the Democratic Party’s platform committee.
“I firmly believe she is the right person at the right time to lead the country at a time when we have incredible opportunities and at a time when there are challenges in the wake of the pandemic and challenges abroad are increasing,” Pureval told The Enquirer. “She has a vision that she presents for the country that a majority of Americans can believe in.”
