- At the party convention, Harris formally receives the nomination with seriousness.
Kamala Harris formally claimed her title as the Democratic Party's presidential nominee during the convention in Chicago. Emphasizing "for the people, for every American, disregarding party, ethnicity, or gender (...)", she accepted the nomination, marking the conclusion of her highly anticipated speech at the end of the four-day gathering.
The delegates had already cast their votes, electing Harris as their candidate, through a virtual process prior to the convention. In Chicago, the gathering of over 4,500 delegates performed a ceremonial vote for Harris once more as part of a grand spectacle.
After being elected as the Democratic Party's candidate through a virtual process, Kamala Harris expressed, "I'm not going to let you down." Regardless of the elevated stage and the grand spectacle in Chicago, Harris reiterated her commitment, saying, "I'm not going to forget who we're fighting for."
