In a powerful speech lasting just 45 minutes, Kamala Harris accepts the presidential nomination "on behalf of all those whose history can only be written in the greatest nation on earth." "We will not go back," she assures, and the convention repeats with her what has now become the slogan of the campaign. " This is not only the most important election of our lifetimes but of a generation ," she adds.
His second thought immediately goes to Joe Biden: "Your record as president is extraordinary, we will be forever grateful." With the election, he then explained, " we have a precious opportunity to move beyond the cynicism, the rancor and the divisive battles of the past . We have the chance to chart a new path forward. Not as members of a party or a faction but as Americans."
" I will be the president of all ," she assures, and tells her story, the difficulties of her family, the separation of her parents. "I miss my mother every day but now more than ever," confesses Harris, recalling that it was her mother who raised her and her sister Maya when her parents separated. "My mother was tough: she taught us not to complain about injustices but to do something to change them."
The attack on Trump: " He is not a serious person but the consequences of having him back in the White House are extremely serious. Consider the power he will have, especially after the Supreme Court granted him immunity ," she explains. The Democratic candidate promises that she will be close to Ukraine and the EU and that "she will never be an ally of dictators like Trump."
Harris also dwells on the thorny issue of Gaza that divides Democrats. She promises to close the deal for a ceasefire and the release of hostages: "The president and I are working tirelessly to end the war so that Israel is safe, the suffering in Gaza ends, and the Palestinians can realize their aspirations of self-determination."
Harris has pledged to intervene and reform the immigration system, including offering a path to citizenship to those who deserve it, and resolve the emergency at the border. On the economy, the vice president pledges to help the middle class, from which she herself comes, and families.
