Former Indiana U.S. Senator Joe Donnelly has been selected to lead the Indiana Democratic Party delegation at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. The announcement comes following President Joe Biden’s decision to withdraw from the 2024 election and endorse Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee. Donnelly, who previously served as a U.S. Senator and ambassador to the Vatican, is seen as a champion for Hoosier families and a supporter of the Biden-Harris administration.
According to Indiana Democratic Party Chair Mike Schmuhl, Donnelly’s lifetime of service to the state and country makes him the ideal leader for the delegation. Donnelly has worked closely with Biden on various issues, such as promoting America’s interests and addressing conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza. Donnelly expressed his honor in leading the delegation and emphasized the importance of unity in defeating Trump and continuing the progress made over the last three years under the Biden administration.
The upcoming convention is expected to be a celebration of the accomplishments during Biden’s presidency and a reminder of the stakes if another four years of a Trump presidency were to occur. Donnelly’s leadership at the convention is seen as crucial in rallying support for the Democratic party and securing votes for the next election.
