US President

In Chicago, USA, Vice President Kamala Harris accepts the Democratic party nomination for US President. Speaking on the occasion, she said, "I accept your nomination to be President of the United States of America. And with this election, our nation has a precious, fleeting opportunity to move past the bitterness, cynicism, and divisive battles of the past, a chance to chart a new way forward...I promise to be a president for all Americans. You can always trust me to put country above party and self, to hold sacred America's fundamental principles from the rule of law to free and fair elections to the peaceful transfer of power."

US Vice President Kamala Harris officially accepted the Democratic Party's 2024 presidential nomination during a spirited event at Chicago's United Center on Friday. As she takes on former President Donald Trump in the upcoming election, Harris becomes the Democratic nominee following President Joe Biden's recent decision to withdraw from the race due to his age. In her acceptance speech, Harris, who is of Indian heritage, emphasized inclusivity and national pride. “On behalf of every American, regardless of party, race, gender, or the language your grandmother speaks, I accept your nomination for President of the United States of America,” she declared, prompting cheers from the audience. Reflecting on her personal journey, Harris paid tribute to her late mother, Shyamala Gopalan, who immigrated from India to the US at age 19. “I miss her every day – especially now. And I know she’s looking down tonight, and smiling,” Harris said. Harris outlined her key policy goals, including addressing America’s housing crisis, reforming the immigration system, and supporting Ukraine and NATO allies. She criticized Donald Trump as an “unserious man” who misused his presidency for personal gain rather than improving Americans' lives. Harris' nomination marks a historic moment as she is the first Indian-American and Black woman to be nominated by a major US party. The event closed the four-day Democratic National Convention, highlighting Harris' commitment to championing the diverse and aspirational spirit of the nation.
