The Democratic National Convention has approved the 2024 party platform, emphasizing President Biden's achievements alongside Vice President Harris, despite being outdated due to Biden's decision not to seek reelection. Harris is highlighted as carrying the torch forward, with the platform focusing on progressive agendas like restoring abortion rights, advancing green energy initiatives, and advocating for a pathway to U.S. citizenship for long-term undocumented individuals. The platform also supports Israel's right to defend itself and seeks a cease-fire deal in Gaza. Although the document references Biden's second term, it is understood that candidates are not bound to strictly adhere to the platform.
