Kamala Harris officially accepted the Democratic nomination in the 2024 presidential election, closing out four days of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Harris delivered remarks to the crowd of delegates and party members at the United Center Thursday, highlighting the night's "For the Future" theme and voicing her vision for America's next presidential administration. The presidential hopeful delivered a message of unity as Democrats look to appeal to independent voters and bring the nation together after the election in November.
"I know there are people of various political views watching tonight, and I want you to know, I promise to be a president for all Americans," Harris said. "You can always trust me to put country above party and self, to hold sacred America's fundamental principles, from the rule of law to free and fair elections, to the peaceful transfer of power." Throughout her nearly hour-long long remarks, Harris took aim at former President Donald Trump and presented her top policies for a Harris-Walz White House.
