Nancy Pelosi Applauds Al Sharpton: 'Thank You for Saving
America
A number of 2020 Democratic presidential candidates are set
to speak at Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network convention as
they compete to reach black voters, a critical demographic in the upcoming
primary elections. Sharpton's convention has garnered prominent guests in the
past, such as President Barack Obama, Sen. Bernie Sanders and House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi.
Presidential candidates speaking at the
National Action Network convention on Wednesday include former Texas Rep. Beto
O'Rourke, businessman Andrew Yang and former Housing and Urban Development
Secretary Julián Castro.
Stacey Abrams, who narrowly lost the
gubernatorial race in Georgia last year and is currently mulling a presidential
bid, is also speaking Wednesday afternoon. On Thursday, Rep. John Delaney and
South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg are speaking at the convention.
Friday will see the greatest
concentration of 2020 candidates speaking at the event: Gov. John Hickenlooper
and Sens. Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Amy Klobuchar, Kirsten Gillibrand,
Kamala Harris and Cory Booker will be making remarks. Potential presidential
contender Rep. Eric Swalwell will also be speaking on Friday.
