CHICAGO, August 22, 2024 – Vice President Kamala Harris officially accepted the Democratic Party’s nomination for president on Thursday with a promise to put country above party and self, pledging to support the rule of law and the peaceful transfer of power, and excoriating former President Donald Trump for his refusal to do so.
Harris closed the party’s four-day convention here with a rally to unite the country “around our highest aspirations” and to be “a president who leads and listens, who is realistic, practical, and has common sense.” She also defined her candidacy in opposition to the return of Trump, the Republican Party presidential candidate.
“Consider what he intends to do if we give him power again,” Harris said, nearly mid-way through her 38-minute speech. “Consider his explicit intent to set free violent extremists who assaulted those law enforcement officers at the Capitol, his explicit intent to jail journalists, political opponents, and anyone else he sees as the enemy.”
