After promising to “become the president of all Americans,” Vice President Kamala Harris accepted her party’s selection as the November presidential candidate on the last night of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago this week.
“In this election, our nation has a precious and fleeting opportunity to move beyond the bitterness, cynicism and conflict of the past, a chance to chart a new path forward, not as members of any particular party or faction, but as Americans,” she told activists from all 50 states and seven U.S. territories at a packed United Center to choose their new
In a 45-minute speech, Kamala Harris reinforced her message of hope for the future as an aspiring president since July, calling for the “defense of the people” and “freedom, opportunity, compassion, dignity”.
“We are the heirs of the greatest democracy in the history of the world, and on behalf of our children, our grandchildren, and all those who have sacrificed so dearly for our freedom, we must be worthy of this moment.”
The vice president also warned that Donald Trump threatens women’s freedom, democracy, and the rule of law. Trump lacks seriousness in many aspects. She claimed his return to the White House will have dire implications. “Imagine his power once the US Supreme Court ruled to shield him from criminal prosecution. Imagine Donald Trump without protections.”
The vice president vowed to restore “the freedom to reproduce” with a straightforward tone, a bright smile, and a unifying address after insisting on populists’ role in conservatives’ abortion fight. She added that middle class development “will be a defining objective of [her] presidency.”
She called for a Gaza Strip ceasefire and pledged the US’s unwavering support for Israel in defending its territory against “terrorist aggression,” but she also denounced the ongoing human tragedy and recognized “the right of the Palestinians to self-determination.”
An unexpected convention
Despite a televised debate revealing exhaustion and weakness, Joe Biden remained committed to leading the battle against Donald Trump, culminating in Harris’ speech. The president withdrew on July 21, calling it the “best way to unite the nation.”
“All week, Democrats have been staging this passing of the baton between Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, between an old guard of American politics and a new generation to which the vice president belongs,” said Brandon Lenoir, a strategic communication professor at High Point University in North Carolina, at the United Center in Chicago “What they have also defined is a new path towards the future of the country, with a message of hope and unity that contrasts with Republican fear.”
Since Monday, several Democratic Party leaders have supported Kamala Harris’ candidacy, starting with President Joe Biden, who took stock of his political career and handed over the campaign to the first African-American and Asian woman to run for president of a major party. Bill and Hillary Clinton, Barack and Michelle Obama, and Nancy Pelosi attended.
The convention also confirmed the party’s changing guard, with a focus on new blood like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the progressive fringe’s superstar and New York representative, who said on Monday she sees in Kamala Harris “a president who stands up for the middle class, because she comes from the middle class. She understands food and medical needs. She defends reproductive and civil rights as well as corporate greed.”
Fresh faces
The week also featured new Democratic rising stars Maxwell Frost, the first Gen Z senator elected to the House of Representatives; Raphael Warnock, a 2021 senator from Georgia; Jasmine Crockett, a new Texas representative; and Dana Nessel, the Michigan attorney general who challenged the radical conservatives behind Project 2025, a document meant to guide Trump’s second term, to address same-sex marriage.
Tim Walz, governor of Minnesota and Kamala Harris’ running mate, gave a serious statement on Wednesday calling for ending the Trump era.
“This is not the past we want to go back to,” said Trena Williams, a young Connecticut mother and state delegate who spent the evening in Chicago for “a historic event that is leading us toward a better future.”
My favorite thing about Kamala Harris is that she connects us in diversity. Our democracy must promote that. Promoting optimism and opportunity is the nation’s future. Avoiding rage and frustration.”
“This convention was our election cycle’s biggest pep rally. During the evening, Regina Wallace-Jones, president of ActBlue, a Democratic fundraising organization, said there are 70 days left to motivate people and bring them to the polls. Kamala Harris is special. She says we can accomplish more together than apart. This is inspiring.”
According to George Washington University political science professor Todd Belt, this national convention reaffirmed Kamala Harris’ campaign momentum. “The main thing now is not to waste it, in a much more hostile environment than that of a partisan and friendly convention.”
