“On behalf of every person whose story can only be written in the greatest nation on Earth, I accept your nomination for president of the United States,” Harris said to cheers at the conclusion of the party’s national convention.
Harris pledged to be a president for all Americans, regardless of their political and racial differences.
Here are the highlights of Harris’ speech:

Harris emerged as the Democratic nominee just over a month ago when allies of President Joe Biden, 81, forced him to drop out of the race.
If successful, she will make history as the first woman elected President of the United States.
