US Election: Kamala Harris Reaffirms Unity at the Democratic National Convention

Kamala Harris, the Democratic vice presidential candidate, officially accepted her nomination; she promised to become 'President for all Americans' and to overcome the 'bitterness, cynicism, and divisive conflicts of the past'. Harris thanked her husband Doug Emhoff, US President Joe Biden, and her family - stepdaughter Ella Emhoff, niece Meena Harris, and goddaughter Helena Hudlin.

Before Harris' speech, US superstar Pink performed with her daughter Willow and sang 'What About Us' together. Harris also commented on the war in Gaza and harshly criticized her Republican challenger Donald Trump.

Harris had already been officially nominated by her party in an electronic vote in early August, and the vote was confirmed at the convention in a ceremonial vote of the convention.
