2:07Now PlayingMeena Harris, Vice President Kamala Harris’ niece; Ella Hemhoff, Harris’ stepdaughter; and Helena Hudlin, Harris’ goddaughter, spoke Thursday on the final night of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, an evening focused on the future as Harris formally accepts her party’s nomination for president.
The three women shared stories of how Harris supported them and the women in their lives.
“Kamala came into my life when I was 14 - famously a very easy time for a teenager. Like a lot of young people, I didn't always understand what I was feeling,” Emhoff said. “But no matter what, Kamala was there for me. She was patient, caring, and always took me seriously. She's never stopped listening to me, and she's not going to stop listening to all of us.”
Harris’ speech is her first official chance to offer her vision for the country to voters. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz formally accepted the vice presidential nomination the day before.
