Amy Klobuchar predicts ‘so much love’ for Biden at his DNC appearance on Monday

President Joe Biden is set to speak on the Democratic National Convention’s first night on Monday, with Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) predicting he will be greeted by “so much love” by the attendees.

Biden’s speech at the DNC will be delivered approximately one month after he bowed out of the 2024 presidential election, giving his endorsement to Vice President Kamala Harris instead. On Sunday, Klobuchar previewed Biden’s speech, which focused on democracy, which she said he had upheld throughout his time in office.

“There is going to be so much love for Joe Biden,” Klobuchar said on MSNBC’s Inside with Jen Psaki. “There is going to be tears of joy when he walks into that hall, and what he has done, and I love that a major focus of this is going to be on democracy. He literally saved our democracy in the U.S.”

The Minnesota senator added that attendees will want to give Biden “a big hug” during his appearance and that she “can’t wait” to hear his speech on Monday night.

First lady Jill Biden and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will also serve as DNC speakers on Monday. Other DNC speakers include former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, second gentleman Doug Emhoff, and Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), who is Harris’s 2024 running mate.

This year’s DNC in Chicago is expected to deal with anti-Israel demonstrations throughout the event’s duration as the conflict in Gaza between Israel and the Hamas terrorist group continues. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson stated the city is “ready” to host the convention , though he conceded protests are “going to happen.”
