Vice President Kamala Harris made headlines when she arrived at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago earlier this week wearing a tan suit. But delegates and other attendees at the convention have mostly been awash in red, white and blue.
Many have been sporting customized fashion accessories, like T-shirts, hats and earrings — even a cape — emblazoned with Harris's name or image.

Others inside the United Center have come with vintage merch, featuring Democratic candidates of yore, such as former President Barack Obama, who addressed the convention on night two, Hillary Clinton, the 2016 Democratic nominee who spoke on night one, and even former President Jimmy Carter, who has spent more than a year in hospice care.

And, just like any convention, there are the buttons and pins. Lots and lots of buttons and pins.
The four-day convention continues Wednesday.

In an unprecedented move, Milei personally pitched the budget to Congress instead of his economy minister, lambasting Argentina's history of macroeconomic mismanagement and promising to veto anything that compromised his tough slog of tight fiscal policy. The president's budget proposal followed a week of political clashes in the legislature — where Milei controls less than 15% of the seats — over spending increases that the administration warns would derail its IMF-backed “zero deficit” budget.
