Kamala Harris, Democratic vice-presidential candidate, is set to deliver a speech at the party’s convention where she will focus on moving past division and bitterness in American politics, and present herself as a unifying leader for all citizens. She will emphasize the importance of the upcoming election as a chance to chart a “New Way Forward” and keep an “unserious man” out of the White House, referring to President Donald Trump.
Harris will also promise to be a president for all Americans, leading with realism, practicality, and common sense. She will highlight the potential consequences of a second Trump term, especially in light of the recent supreme court ruling granting him immunity from criminal prosecution.
Throughout the event, several celebrities and political figures have made appearances, including NBA star Steph Curry who expressed his support for Harris. The convention has not agreed to the demands of pro-Palestinian activists seeking a speaker, while uncommitted delegates have not received a response to their request for a meeting with Harris or her team.
Harris will also pay tribute to her mother, Shyamala Gopalan Harris, a breast cancer researcher who immigrated to the U.S. from India and influenced her values and activism. The convention has seen a mix of entertainment and political discussions, with speculation about a surprise guest and high-profile Republican speaker. The message of unity and progress will be a central theme of Harris’ speech as she addresses the nation in a pivotal moment for American democracy.
