The vice president emphasizes that the November presidential elections “represent a clear choice between two different visions”
The Vice President of the United States, Kamala Harris, has been “proud” to have achieved the support of the delegates necessary for her presidential nomination at the Democratic National Convention and has shown her intention to “unite the party and the nation” to defeat the former President Donald Trump in the November presidential election.
“I am proud to have achieved the broad support necessary to become our party’s nominee, and as a daughter of California, I am proud that my home state’s delegation helped elevate our campaign,” she said in a statement published through your account on social network X.
“I hope to formally accept this nomination soon,” said Harris, who has announced that “over the next few months” she will travel around the country to “speak to Americans about everything that is at stake.” “I intend to unite our party, our nation, and defeat Donald Trump in November,” she said.
Likewise, she has thanked the president, Joe Biden, and “all” members of the Democratic Party who have expressed their support for her. “I hope to make our case directly to the American people,” she said, while arguing that “these elections represent a clear choice between two different visions.”
“Donald Trump wants to take our country to an era before the one in which many of us have full freedoms and equal rights. I believe in a future that strengthens our democracy, protects reproductive freedom and ensures that everyone has a chance not only to endure, but to progress,” Harris concluded.
On Monday night, the US vice president achieved the necessary number of delegates to be nominated at the Democratic National Convention to be held on August 19 in Chicago (Illinois), according to US media estimates. Thus, in just 24 hours she has obtained the endorsement of 1,976 delegates, above the 1,968 necessary for this.
This success in her first hours as a new candidate has translated into the collection of 81 million dollars (almost 74.4 million euros), a record in this campaign. Although a large number of delegations and major party figures have already endorsed the vice president, the Democratic spokespersons in the Senate, Chuck Shumer, and in the House of Representatives, Hakeem Jeffries, have not yet commented on the matter.
