Bill Derrough: Former Democratic National Committee Treasurer on the support for the Democrats, the National Convention

Published: Aug. 19, 2024, 9:23 p.m.

A former US Treasurer says he hasn't seen this level of support for the Democrats since Barack Obama's presidential campaign. \xa0

The Democratic National Convention starts in Chicago today.\xa0

It's where Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate Governor Tim Walz will accept their presidential and vice presidential nominations.\xa0

Former Democratic National Committee Treasurer Bill Derrough told Mike Hosking that Harris has some serious momentum. \xa0

He says there's tremendous energy, and a feeling like they haven't felt since 2008 with Barack Obama, maybe even greater than that.\xa0

Derrough says there\u2019s still some sadness around Biden stepping down, but it\u2019s worked out for the best.\xa0

He says it couldn't have come together in a better way, supporting Harris and Walz, and making a symbolic handover at the first day of the Convention.\xa0
