The 59-year-old leader walked on stage to thunderous applause and a standing ovation from the audience. Chants of “Yes You Can!” erupted before her remarks.
Taking the stage at the United Center in Chicago to accept her nomination, Harris said she is no stranger to unlikely journeys. She also asked them to reject political divisions, warning of "extremely serious" consequences of putting her Republican rival Donald Trump back in White House.
"On behalf of the people, on behalf of every American, regardless of party, race, gender or the language your grandmother speaks, on behalf of my mother and everyone who has ever set out on their own unlikely journey on behalf of Americans, like the people I grew up with, people who work hard, chase their dreams and look out for one another, on behalf of everyone whose story could only be written in the greatest nation on earth, I accept your nomination the United States," she said, as quoted by news agency PTI.
Vice President Harris outlined her plans if she’s elected to be the 47th president of the United States. During her 40-minute speech at the Democratic National Convention, Harris laid out the consequences of electing former President Donald Trump to a second term.
“In many ways, Donald Trump is an unserious man, but the consequences of putting Donald Trump back in the White House are extremely serious,” she said, as quoted by PTI.
The US Vice President slammed Trump and said that he threw away the votes of Americans. She also spoke about the “chaos and calamity” of his years in the Oval Office and also pointed to him questioning election results in 2020 when he lost his reelection bid.
“Donald Trump tried to throw away your votes. When he failed, he sent an armed mob to the United States Capitol where they assaulted law enforcement officers. When politicians in his own party begged him to call off the mob and send help, he did the opposite. He fanned the flames,” she said.
