Vice President Kamala Harris accepts presidential nomination at Democratic National Convention

Vice President Kamala Harris told voters they have a chance to chart a "new way forward" as Americans this November, as she looked to introduce herself to voters and prosecute her case against Republican Donald Trump as she accepted her party's nomination Thursday night at the Democratic National Convention.

Harris walked onstage to thunderous applause and a long standing ovation as convention-goers chanted her name, before beginning her remarks.

“Our nation with this election has a precious, fleeting opportunity to move past the bitterness, cynicism, and divisive battles of the past,” Harris said, as she accepted the nomination. “A chance to chart a New Way Forward. Not as members of any one party or faction, but as Americans.”

Harris' address in Chicago caps a whirlwind eight weeks in American politics and manifests the stunning reversal of Democratic fortunes just 75 days until Election Day. Party leaders, who had publicly despaired over President Joe Biden's candidacy after his disastrous debate against Trump, were jubilant both at the historic nature of Harris' candidacy and their buoyed hopes for this November.
