Brooklyn took center stage at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago this week, where Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries both expressed confidence that having Kamala Harris at the top of the ballot in November could help Democrats regain the House majority and retain their Senate majority.
Over 4,000 presidential delegates — including more than 70 from Brooklyn — formally nominated Harris for president and Tim Walz for vice president at Chicago’s United Center, even though the running mates had already secured the nomination during a virtual roll call in July.
