Vice President Kamala Harris urged Americans to seize a 'precious, fleeting opportunity' to move beyond political divisions and the threat of Republican Donald Trump on Thursday as she closed out the Democratic National Convention.
JOSH BOAK, BRIAN SLODYSKO and NICHOLAS RICCARDIKamala Harris accepted the Democratic nomination for president, and despite no surprise guest, her impassioned speech brought her party to their feet.to move beyond political divisions and the threat of Republican Donald Trump on Thursday as she closed out the Democratic National Convention.
Harris tried to capitalize on that, telling delegates and the nation: "With this election, our nation has a precious, fleeting opportunity to move past the bitterness, cynicism and divisive battles of the past." Harris described how Trump inspired the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol and his fraud conviction. She talked about his willingness to deploy the military against U.S. citizens - and the ability to do so with immunity from criminal consequences due to a recent Supreme Court ruling.Harris' first order of business upon taking the convention stage was introducing herself.
Speakers included swing state up-and-comers like Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, who painted Trump as out of touch and told delegates that "with Kamala Harris, she gets us. She sees us. She is us." Others featured during the week: Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly, both of whom made the shortlist when Harris was searching for a running mate.
Israel's response to the Oct. 7, 2023, attack by Hamas has spurred outrage over mass casualties and human rights violations in Gaza, and pro-Palestinian demonstrators have marched outside the arena each day. Contrast that with the convention being held to nominate Harris in Chicago: Laughter filled the air, the mood was electric and searing jokes at Trump's expense flowed freely. The event has also drawn an A-list slate of talent, from John Legend to Pink.Turning social issues into economic policies
