Vice President Kamala Harris formally accepted the Democratic nomination for president on Thursday, delivering a powerful address that called for an end to the war in Gaza and a global stand against tyranny. She sharply contrasted her positions with those of Republican candidate Donald Trump.
Harris addressed the final evening of the Chicago convention, emphasizing her commitment to democracy and criticizing Trump for what she described as his close ties to dictators. At 59, Harris is in a tense race against the 78-year-old Trump as the campaign heads into its final 11 weeks.
Amid protests from Palestinian supporters, Harris pledged to secure Israel and bring hostages home from Gaza, aiming for a ceasefire in one of the world's most volatile regions. She underscored her readiness to defend U.S. interests against Iran and other authoritarian regimes.
