The Democratic National Convention will conclude tonight with its marquee event. Kamala Harris will take the stage in Chicago to formally accept her party’s presidential nomination and lay out her vision for the country.

Harris has generated a surge of energy and optimism since her sudden ascent to the top of the Democratic ticket — the mood in Chicago is nothing short of a party — but many voters still know little about her. Tonight is her chance to begin changing that.

Harris has repeatedly rehearsed an address that will tell voters about her life story, frame her contest with Donald Trump as one pitting the future against the past and attempt to reclaim the banner of patriotism for Democrats.

Harris will also likely pitch herself as a leader who will make life more affordable, funded in part by significantly raising taxes on the wealthy and large companies. Her only major policy agenda separate from President Biden has focused on economic issues like the cost of housing and groceries. Above all, her years in public office have been driven by the art of the possible — small accomplishable changes, rather than grand plans.

Here’s what else to know:

• Democrats have stopped asking if a woman can win the White House.

• Once a star, Mayor Eric Adams of New York City has been sidelined at the convention.

• Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is expected to drop out soon. It probably won’t significantly alter the presidential race.
