Kamala Harris has officially accepted the Democratic Party's nomination for president, marking a significant milestone in her political career as she prepares to challenge Republican candidate Donald Trump in the final 11 weeks of a tight race.

Throughout the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, the party prominently featured symbols typically associated with conservatism, such as camouflage, cowboy hats, and the American flag. This move aimed to portray a party embracing all Americans and even garnered endorsements from some Republicans opposing Trump.

Women speakers, particularly women of color, dominated the stage, with Michelle Obama's speech criticizing Trump going viral. Despite the celebratory tone, the party acknowledges the challenging campaign ahead and the need to mobilize its base, especially voters of color and low-income Americans. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden, who stepped down from his reelection bid, was gently moved aside as the focus shifted to Harris.
