'There'll be a revolution': Deep divisions ahead of 2024 presidential election

Wednesday 21 August 2024 09:22, UK

In Woodstock, Illinois, they know all about the cycle of repetition.

The small town, around an hour's drive from Chicago, where this week's Democratic National Convention is being held, is actually where the movie Groundhog Day was filmed.

Its part in movie history is marked by a huge mural on the main street, a poster of the film's star Bill Murray in the estate agent window and a plaque at the bed and breakfast which featured as one of the sets.

But in a place where a narrative of monotony is celebrated, the story now is about the upcoming presidential election and a new offer that goes beyond re-electing an incumbent. But for many here, Kamala Harris is an elusive candidate.

“In the enduring struggle between democracy and tyranny, I know where I stand. And I know where the United States belongs,” she said.

With the cadence of a courtroom prosecutor, Harris delivered on the promise many Democrats saw in her when she launched her first presidential campaign five years ago, and when Joe Biden chose her as his running mate in 2020.

Harris went directly at her Republican rival. She laid out the former president’s legal troubles. She blamed him for the horrors some women have faced amid the implementation of strict state-level abortion laws. She issued a reminder of what she called the “chaos and calamity when he was in office.

“In many ways, Donald Trump is an unserious man,” she said. “But the consequences of putting Donald Trump back in the White House are extremely serious.”
