| It's go time. |
Vice President Kamala Harris will accept her nomination for president tonight. It will also mark off a night of controversy for the Democrats.
Supporters of the Palestinian freedom movement ate warning Democrats that if they don't change on their support for Israel, they will not support her and Tim Walz, governor of Minnesota.
Also it will be a test of courage and uncertainty.
Harris is facing challenges from not only President Joe Biden whom she is abound to in policies but Donald J. Trump, J.D. Vance, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Nicole Shanahan, Elon Musk, Rupert Murdoch and AIPAC.
These entities will ensure she will have a long road ahead.
