Vice President Kamala Harris delivered remarks on the final night of the Democratic National Convention, where she formally accepted her nomination as the Democratic nominee. She speaks about her middle-class upbringing, details her work as a state attorney general and vows to work toward a hostage and cease-fire deal in Gaza.
The 2024 Democratic National Convention is over, and despite fears of intraparty fighting and violent clashes between police and protesters outside the United Center — this was not a replay of 1968. In fact, Lil John’s roll call cameo notwithstanding, it was about as basic as political conventions get. And that’s probably the best Democrats could hope for. The crowd in Chicago’s United Center roared as Vice President Kamala Harris accepted the Democratic nomination for president.
But Harris was completely vague about building what she called an “opportunity economy” that, under her leadership, would bring together “labor and workers, small-business owners and entrepreneurs, and American companies.” How she’d bring together these often competing forces — and what “bringing together” even means — remains unexplained.
