US Vice President and 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris arrives onstage to speak on the fourth and last day of the Democratic National Convention at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois, on August 22, 2024. CHICAGO – Kamala Harris accepted the Democratic presidential nomination in Chicago on Thursday before a rapturous crowd, pledging a “new way forward” and warning that Donald Trump will take America backward if he wins November’s blockbuster election.
She was later joined on stage by her running mate Tim Walz and their families, as they held their arms aloft while 100,000 red, white and blue balloons tumbled from the ceiling. “We know what a second Trump term would look like,” she said, saying he wanted to “pull our country back to the past.” On the hugely divisive issue of Israel’s war in Gaza, Harris went further than the rhetoric of her boss Biden by calling the scale of suffering in the Palestinian enclave “heartbreaking”.
The torch having well and truly been passed, Biden gave a farewell speech on the first day of the convention and said he had called Harris to wish her luck.
