Vice President Kamala Harris formally accepted the Democratic Party’s nomination on the last night of the Democratic National Convention. Calling on her friends, family and former colleagues along with celebrities and fellow lawmakers, Harris on Thursday evening said that if she were to win the White House, she would “promise to be a president for all Americans.”
Harris also touched on the war in Gaza, saying “President Biden and I are working to end this war such that Israel is secure, the hostages are released, the suffering in Gaza ends and the Palestinian people can realize their right to dignity, security.”
Other speakers included Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Rep. Maxwell Frost, Harris’ nieces Amara and Leela and actor Kerry Washington to cap off the last day of the DNC.
