In a historic and career-defining moment, Vice President Kamala Harris will address the nation on Thursday night as she accepts the Democratic Party's nomination for president. The event marks a significant milestone, set a month after President Joe Biden bowed out of the race.

Harris, who has faced challenges in her own campaigns, has gained momentum with enthusiastic support from voters while narrowing the gap against Republican opponent Donald Trump. If elected, Harris will not only become the first woman but also the first person of South Asian descent to hold the office.

In her speech, expected to tackle major issues like rising costs and personal freedoms, Harris will also recount her unique heritage as the daughter of a Jamaican father and Indian mother. She plans a strong critique of former President Trump, emphasizing unity over division and outlining her vision for the future.
