Harris vows to be a 'president for all Americans' in speech accepting Democratic nomination

Kamala Harris has summoned Americans to reject political divisions and instead chart what she called a “new way forward," vowing she'll be a "president for all Americans" in an address to the Democratic National Convention Thursday night.

"I know there are people of various political views watching tonight. And I want you to know I promise to be a president for all Americans," Harris said.

"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," she added.

Harris took the stage to a thunderous standing ovation as she closed out the Democrats' convention in Chicago, arguing that her personal story and background as a prosecutor made her uniquely qualified to protect Americans' interests against a former president she cast as only having his own interests in mind.

Joe blow said the same thing, liars at best!

[DennyBass]

Remember the times before this person was in office and gas was less than $2 a gallon, interest rates were basically zero, and you didn’t have inflation?

[zigmund]

Pretty sure Biden said the same thing….

[ralphjessee]

Sleepy creepy Slo mo Joe promised the same things. We got none of them.

[JohnPublic-dkzd]

Lol...she said that, and then ripped half the country for not supporting her side...

[Warhawkx]

Yep, heard this before. Four years ago to be exact. Look how THAT turned out.

[Seducier]

The Democratic party has never and will never put country above party.

[joecrow]

The results of the actions of the vice president are obvious already.

[salesguy]

Let's just ignore the last 4 years: inflation, no southern border, global instability, energy dependence on enemies. The list goes on. People that fall for this really need their heads examined.

[elropo]

Pretty sure she meant to say she'd be a 'president for all communists'.

[Joe-chsi]

[easter_sunday]

There is nothing she has done in the past 4 years that supports her assertions

[fridgerator]

Interesting she said that because no American voted for her in the primary

[Jwalkiin]

Their campaign is literally just " Trump bad, he's a bad man, we good, vote for us". 🙄

[vicglbowski]

Just wish that one day we see the day when politicians aren’t corrupt as hell and we have people who will actually do something for the people of this country .
