Vice President Kamala Harris accepted the Democratic presidential nomination on Thursday, pledging to “chart a new way forward” for the country.
In her acceptance speech, Harris emphasized unity and inclusivity, stating that she would work for all Americans, regardless of party, race, gender, or background.
Harris acknowledged the divisive nature of recent politics, but framed the upcoming election against Donald Trump as an opportunity to move beyond bitterness and cynicism.
She positioned herself as a unifying force, committed to inspiring Americans to work together towards a shared future.
“I will be a president who unites us around our highest aspirations,” Harris declared, emphasizing her determination to fight for a better future for all Americans.
“On behalf of the people, on behalf of every American, regardless of party, race, gender or the language your grandmother speaks… I accept your nomination,” the vice president said.
Acknowledging that not all people listening were supporters, Harris said the November election against Donald Trump is “a precious, fleeting opportunity to move past the bitterness, cynicism and divisive battles of the past, a chance to chart a new way forward — not as members of any one party or faction, but as Americans.”
“I will be a president who unites us around our highest aspirations,” she said. “The future is always worth fighting for. And that’s the fight we are in right now. A fight for America’s future.”
