Vice President Kamala Harris accepted her party’s presidential nomination in a speech on the final night of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. She vowed to be president for “all Americans,” while describing the November election as the “most important in the life of our nation.”
Her pitch to voters
She detailed why she believes another Donald Trump presidency would have “extremely serious” consequences, while promising a tax cut for the middle class, border security and to restore reproductive rights.
Historic nomination
Harris is the first Black woman and first Asian American to lead a major-party ticket. If elected, she would be the first woman and Indian American president.
