The Democratic National Convention’s fourth and final night Thursday is crescendoing with a speech from Vice President Kamala Harris. After a week of Democrats’ most prominent figures rallying the party faithful, Harris has accepted her party’s nomination for president during a speech in which she’s offering her vision and policy agenda to the American people. Harris walked onstage to thunderous applause and a long standing ovation as convention-goers chanted her name, before beginning her remarks. “Our nation with this election has a precious, fleeting opportunity to move past the bitterness, cynicism, and divisive battles of the past,” Harris said, as she accepted the nomination. “A chance to chart a New Way Forward. Not as members of any one party or faction, but as Americans.” Harris' address in Chicago caps a whirlwind eight weeks in American politics and manifests the stunning reversal of Democratic fortunes just 75 days until Election Day. Party leaders, who had publicly despaired over President Joe Biden's candidacy after his disastrous debate against Trump, were jubilant both at the historic nature of Harris' candidacy and their buoyed hopes for this November. “America, the path that led me here in recent weeks was no doubt unexpected. But I’m no stranger to unlikely journeys," she said.
