During the fourth and final evening of the 2024 DNC, the 59-year-old vice president\u2019s speech outlined her plans for America if elected in November, and she emphasized one motto as a former lawyer: \u201cKamala Harris, for the people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-3\">\u201cI\u2019ve only had one client \u2014 the people,\u201d Kamala said. \u201cAnd so, on behalf of the people; 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; on behalf of Americans like the people I grew up with, people who work hard, chase their dreams and look out for one another; on behalf of everyone whose story could only be written in the greatest nation on Earth; I accept your nomination for President of the United States of America.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-4\">The former prosecutor reflected on her career \u2014 which she called her \u201clife\u2019s work\u201d in defending the American public \u2014 \u201cfrom the courthouse to the White House.\u201d She pointed out that \u201cat a young age,\u201d she wanted to be a lawyer and one of \u201cthose who battled in the courtroom to make real the promise of America.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe title=\"Kamala Harris acceptance speech at DNC\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/so1wvQVJAJY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-5\">\u201cYou can always trust me to put country above party and self,\u201d Kamala insisted. \u201cTo hold sacred America\u2019s fundamental principles. From the rule of law, to free and fair elections, to the peaceful transfer of power. I will be a president who unites us around our highest aspirations. A president who leads and listens, who is realistic, practical and has common sense. And always fights for the American people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-6\">Kamala\u2019s meteoric rise as the Democratic candidate has been a fast one, which she acknowledged during her speech. In July, President <a href=\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/celeb\/joe-biden\/\" data-analytics-trigger=\"article-body-link\"><strong>Joe Biden<\/strong><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/2024\/07\/21\/joe-biden-drops-out-of-2024-presidential-race\/\" data-analytics-trigger=\"article-body-link\">dropped out<\/a> of the presidential race after countless public figures called for him to do so. Kamala immediately embarked on her campaign and traveled to several battleground states.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-7\">\u201cAmerica, the path that led me here in recent weeks, was no doubt \u2026 unexpected,\u201d she said at the DNC. \u201cBut I\u2019m no stranger to unlikely journeys.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-8\">Kamala additionally took a few swipes at the Republican candidate, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/celeb\/donald-trump\/\" data-analytics-trigger=\"article-body-link\">Donald Trump<\/a><\/strong>, by highlighting the setbacks that the country endured during his presidency.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-9\">\u201cJust imagine Donald Trump with no guardrails,\u201d she pressed the audience. \u201cHow he would use the immense powers of the presidency of the United States. Not to improve your life. Not to strengthen our national security. But to serve the only client he has ever had: himself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-10\">While closing out her address, Kamala pointed out that Americans are \u201cthe heirs to the greatest democracy in the history of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-11\">\u201cAnd on behalf of our children and grandchildren, and all those who sacrificed so dearly for our freedom and liberty, we must be worthy of this moment,\u201d she concluded. \u201cIt is now our turn to do what generations before us have done. Guided by optimism and faith, to fight for this country we love. \u2026\u00a0And together, let us write the next great chapter in the most extraordinary story ever told.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/2024\/08\/23\/kamala-harris-dnc-speech-2024\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Image Credit: AFP via Getty Images Kamala Harris officially accepted the Democratic Party\u2019s nomination for president of the United States.
