CHICAGO — U.S. Rep. Veronica Escobar was shocked when she was tapped last year to serve on President Joe Biden’s campaign. Then the surprises kept coming. As a national co-chair of the Biden-turned-Kamala Harris presidential campaign, she defended the president and vice president through border security and Israel-Hamas war policy she disagreed with, a disastrous debate performance that put Biden’s electability into question and calls from her own party for Biden to step down. The El Paso Democrat has crisscrossed the country to represent the campaign, including dropping into the Republican National Convention to lead counter programming. Then on Thursday, she chaired the last night of the Democratic National Convention, introducing Harris as she formally accepted the party’s nomination.
