The Vice President of the United States, Kamala Harris, has made her first appearance at the Democratic National Convention, which is being held this week in Chicago to officially announce her as a candidate for the White House elections, and has taken advantage of this moment to thank the “historic leadership” of the current president, Joe Biden.
“I want to start by celebrating our incredible president, who will speak later. Joe, thank you for your historic leadership, for your life of service to our nation and for everything you will continue to do. We will be eternally grateful to you. Thank you, Joe,” said the vice president as she took the microphone on stage.
After that, Harris addressed the audience and applauded “the beauty” of the country with “people from all corners” of the United States “united” by their “shared vision for the future.” “In November, we will come together and declare with one voice, as one people, that we are moving forward with optimism, hope and strength, guided by our love for our country,” he said.
In this sense, he stressed that Americans have “much more in common” than what separates them, which is why he encouraged them to fight “for the ideals that they hold so dear.” “Let us always remember that when we fight, we win. May God bless America,” he concluded.
The convention will continue until Thursday, but this opening day, without going any further, will witness the appearance of the Biden couple (Jill and Joe), who will give speeches to declare their definitive and unwavering support for their candidate before the crowd gathered at the United Center in the city.
On Wednesday, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz will formally accept the nomination for vice president, while Thursday, the 22nd, the climax of the event, will be the day when Harris is officially designated as the party’s candidate against Donald Trump of the Republican Party.
