The Democratic National Convention has concluded its roll call, officially nominating Joe Biden as the party’s presidential candidate. Kamala Harris, his running mate, expressed her honor at being named the Democratic vice-presidential nominee.
During the roll call, each state and territory announced their delegate votes, with Vermont putting Biden over the top to secure the nomination. Speakers throughout the convention emphasized the importance of unifying the party to defeat President Donald Trump in November.
In her acceptance speech, Harris spoke about her upbringing as the daughter of immigrants and her career as a prosecutor and senator. She also highlighted the struggles faced by Americans due to the COVID-19 pandemic and economic crisis, as well as the need for police reform and racial justice.
Harris emphasized that she and Biden share a vision for overcoming these challenges and creating a more inclusive and equitable America. She called on Americans to come together to fight for a country that represents the best of its ideals.
The convention, which has largely been held virtually due to the pandemic, featured speeches from a wide range of Democratic leaders and celebrities. Former president Barack Obama delivered a blistering critique of Trump’s presidency, while former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton warned of the dangers of a second Trump term.
As the campaign now shifts into high gear, Biden and Harris will be focusing on mobilizing voters and building a coalition to win in November. With the official nominations secured, the Democratic ticket is ready to take on Trump and the Republicans in a pivotal election for the future of America.
