is onstage accepting her party's nomination for president on the fourth and final night of the Democratic National Convention. In her remarks, Harris described her family upbringing and her professional career after praising President Joe Biden."Consider the power he will have, especially after the United States Supreme Court just ruled that he would be immune from criminal prosecution," she said.
"As attorney general of California, I took on the big banks, delivered $20 billion for middle-class families who faced foreclosure and helped pass a homeowner bill of rights, one of the first of its kind in the nation," she said. "On behalf of my mother and everyone who has ever set out on their own unlikely journey, on behalf of Americans like the people I grew up with, people who work hard, chase their dreams and look out for one another," Harris continued,"on behalf of everyone whose story could only be written in the greatest nation on Earth, I accept your nomination to be president of the United States of America.
She added,"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."Harris said tonight that she grew up learning about the values of the Civil Rights Movement, which inspired her to become a lawyer.
He reposted a video panning Harris as a"San Francisco radical," and he lamented that there's a"lot of talk about childhood, we’ve got to get to the Border, Inflation, and Crime!Harris began her speech saying that"the path that led me here in recent weeks was no doubt unexpected, but I’m no stranger to unlikely journeys."
"All the AGs were close to a settlement with the big banks," Cooper said, referring to a moment in 2011."And it was a pretty good deal ... but Kamala said: 'Hang on a minute. I’ve met with these families. I know what they’ve been through, and they deserve more.' So she went toe to toe with some of the world’s most powerful executives. And she refused to give in.
She said that if her late mother were there, she would say how proud she was of her daughter. Then,"without missing a beat, she'd say, 'That's enough. You've got work to do.'"He said it was a"sometimes awkward alliance" with Democrats to defend democracy, adding that Democrats were just as patriotic as Republicans."Donald Trump is a weak man pretending to be strong. He is a small man pretending to be big," Kinzinger said.
Like most women in the U.S., she's used to just"getting stuff done" and having to juggle work, children and everything else in between, Whitmer said. Harris understands what that's like while Trump never could, she said. Gallego went on to slam Trump for comments he has made about veterans over the years, including the late Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona.In the Senate race, Gallego faces Republican nominee Kari Lake, a Trump-backed former TV news anchor who lost the election for governor in 2022."She knows a tyrant when she sees one, and our allies know a leader when they see one," Panetta said.
Kelly, who had been under consideration to be Harris' running mate, began his remarks by joking that Barack Obama had to follow Michelle Obama in his convention speech the other night, while he himself had to follow his wife, former Rep. Gabby Giffords, D-Ariz., and a performance by Pink. Giffords almost died after the shooting, in which the gunman shot 19 people and killed six, but she survived with the help of her husband, Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., a former astronaut, she told the convention."I learned to talk again, one word at a time. So many people held me as I worked hard to recover, including a decent man from Delaware who always checked in. He still does," she added, referring to Biden.
Police aren’t appearing to pressure further movement forward for the march but have spoken a number of times directly with organizers. Organizers said they have paused because they want to more overtly make their point during the time Harris prepares to take the stage at the United Center.Sheriff Chris Swanson of Michigan's Genesee County, who was in uniform onstage tonight, said the Jan. 6 riot was consumed with"division, deceit and denigration.
Amara and Leela Ajagu, the daughters of Harris' niece Meena Harris, led a repetition of"Kama-la," which the crowd shouted back several times over."I am not here tonight as an actor," Washington told the packed crowd."I am here as a mother, as a daughter, as a proud union member. I am here as the granddaughter of immigrants, as a Black woman descended from enslaved people.
"My family knows how dangerous Trump is," said Sicknick, who appeared onstage with his mother, Gayle."He incited the crowd while my brother and his fellow officers were putting their lives at risk. We need a real leader, not an autocrat who was stuck in the past. Brian, we miss you every day."Others who appeared were Anya Cook and her husband, Derek, with their baby.
"The truth is, America has never been about 'me.' As President Obama said, the single most powerful word in our democracy is the word 'we.' 'We shall overcome.' 'Yes, we can.' And we've got a message for the 'me' guys — 'we' is more powerful than 'me,'" Allred told the crowd. “I thought that was pretty great,” said Spehar, who has 3.1 million followers on TikTok. “I’ll be with an anchor or politician or something and people are like, ‘UnderTheDeskNews!’ I think that’s so fun.”Rep. Maxwell Frost, D-Fla., the first Gen Z member of Congress, said he was here to tell everyone that the climate crisis isn't some"far-off threat."
Police officers on bicycles have lined up on the sidewalk at the transit station at Damen Avenue, the site of a confrontation between a woman and police during yesterday's march. "Across the country, working-class people are looking for a political home after years of both parties putting profit above people," he said."Now Trump, a billionaire, says that he'll take on the elites, but then he promises handouts to big oil. And he punches down at anyone with the guts to be different."Harris is expected to say her path to the nomination was"no doubt unexpected.
"Kamala Harris fights for all Americas. She stays on offense, and she wins," Healey said, later adding:"The contrast between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris is clear. He obstructs justice. She upholds it. He swindles people. She serves them. He thinks he's above the law. She actually understands the law."
The uncommitted delegates argued that allowing a Palestinian American speaker would shed light on the impact of what they called"failed U.S. foreign policy." Delegates have also argued for an arms embargo on Israel and an immediate cease-fire in Gaza. Harris has also called for a cease-fire. The president of the National Urban League, Marc Morial, spoke about how Trump was sued in the 1970s for refusing to rent his apartments to Black people.
The Exonerated Five were wrongly accused as teenagers of raping and beating a white woman jogging in Central Park. They spent yearsThe Rev. Al Sharpton addressed the convention tonight before he welcomed four members of the"Central Park Five" to the stage. Like previous march routes on Monday and Wednesday, demonstators are marching by Park #578, the so-called First Amendment zone that was the site of some protesters on Monday tearing down security fencing.

Pat Ryan, D-N.Y.
Slotkin, the Democratic Senate candidate in Michigan, said that the CIA recruited her after 9/11 and that she took part in three tours in Iraq alongside the military. She also worked at the White House for presidents of both parties. Minutes later, Colorado Rep. Jason Crow talked about his military service, saying his missions taught him what"really makes America strong and secure."
"She'll take on Wall Street firms that buy up millions of houses and apartments, and then jack up the rent. She'll take on drug companies that charge an arm and a leg for prescriptions. She'll take on corporate monopolies that rip off consumers and billionaires who don't pay taxes," Warren said. Today’s pre-march rally showcased a circus-like vibe, with many different spectacles to behold, depending on which way you were looking.
Williams recalled that, in order to open his first restaurant,"we emptied our savings account." In an apparent dig at Trump's upbringing, Williams added:"I guess not everybody can have a multimillion-dollar loan from their father."Williams won the Durham mayoralty in November, defeating fellow Democrat Mike Woodard in the general election by a wide margin., home to a large population of Black voters and moderate suburbanites.
As vice president, she helped expand Pell grants and secure record funding for historically Black colleges and universities, he added.
