Newsman: The US Vice President Kamala Harris formally accepted the 2024 Democratic presidential nomination on Thursday at the Democratic National Convention. She warned voters across the country that Donald Trump would take the country back down a road of dangerous policies and Donald Trump’s return to the White House would have “extremely serious” consequences. “Just imagine Donald Trump with no guard rails,” Harris said. The goal of Project 2025 and Trump, Harris said, is to “pull our country back to the past.”
“But America, we are not going back,” she said.
Harris called this election “one of the most important in the life of our nation”. She believes the 2024 election marks a “fight for America’s future.”
“With this election, our nation has a precious, fleeting opportunity to move past the bitterness, cynicism, and divisive battles of the past. A chance to chart a new way forward Vice President Harris said.
Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris also vowed to stand up for Israel’s right to defend itself – but added the bloodshed in Gaza is “devastating” and “heartbreaking.”
“And know this. I will never hesitate to take whatever action is necessary to defend our forces and our interests against Iran and Iran-backed terrorists,” she added.
“now is the time to get a hostage deal and a ceasefire deal done and let me be clear: I will always stand up for Israel’s right to defend itself” Harris said and “I will always ensure Israel has the ability to defend itself, because the people of Israel must never again face the horror that a terrorist organization called Hamas caused on October 7, including unspeakable sexual violence, and the massacre of young people at a music festival.”
She said at the same time, what has happened in Gaza over the past 10 months is devastating. The scale of suffering is heartbreaking. So many innocent lives lost. Desperate, hungry people are fleeing for safety over and over again. President Biden and she are working to end this war, such that Israel is secure, the hostages are released, the suffering in Gaza ends and the Palestinian people can realize their right to dignity, security, freedom, and self-determination.
“On behalf of every American regardless of party, race, gender or the language your grandmother speaks, on behalf of my mother and everyone who has ever set out on their own unlikely journey … I accept your nomination,” Harris told the convention.
