Ms Harris will try to redefine herself for America and draw a sharp contrast with Trump.
CHICAGO - Vice-President Kamala Harris will try to redefine herself for America and draw a sharp contrast with Republican Donald Trump on Aug 22 night when she accepts the Democratic Party’s 2024 presidential nomination.
On the final, and most anticipated, night of the convention, Chicago’s United Centre brimmed with energy – and people. A former California Attorney-General, Ms Harris’ presidential ambitions were apparent for years, but they had been undermined by her own shaky 2020 campaign and bumps along the way of her nearly four years as vice-president.
The Democratic crowd went wild for Senator Elizabeth Warren, who grew emotional and wiped away tears. Over the last three days, Democrats have sought to define themselves as the voice of American values from small towns to overseas. Delegates from the Uncommitted National Movement, which mobilised nearly 750,000 voters to withhold support for Mr Biden during the presidential primaries, entered the venue linking arms and took their seats.
