7:33Now PlayingFormer Representative Adam Kinzinger, a Republican from Illinois, spoke during the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on Thursday. The DNC this week marks the ceremonial crowning of Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as the party's presidential nominees, capping off a whirlwind month for Democrats who quickly coalesced behind the new ticket after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race in July.
Vice President Kamala Harris formally accepted the Democratic presidential nomination on Thursday, delivering a deeply personal speech as she vowed to prioritize a fight for the middle class and Americans’ reproductive rights. #politics #harris #dnc #kamalaharris
Harris and her fellow Democrats spent a week gathered in Chicago reinvigorated, eager to seize the mantle of progress and extend a hand to the undecided voters they’ll need to recapture the White House.
Her speech harnessed that momentum while also blunting Republican attacks head-on, leaning on her biography to argue she was best positioned to tackle issues like the economy, immigration, and crime traditionally seen as vulnerabilities. She slammed her opponent, Donald Trump, as being out for himself, not voters.
Left largely unsaid were the many ways her nomination remained remarkable. Harris is the first Black and Asian woman ever to lead a major-party ticket, and her ascension to the nomination only a month after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race is unprecedented in the modern era.
