At the Democratic National Convention, Vice President Kamala Harris accepted the presidential nomination, marking a significant turnaround for the party that had recently faced challenges. Harris emphasized unity and a commitment to accountability, contrasting her vision with former President Trump, whom she accused of wanting to be an autocrat and failing to hold dictators accountable. Despite the celebration of Harris's nomination, tensions arose as progressive Democrats expressed frustration over the DNC's refusal to allow a Palestinian American speaker, highlighting internal party divisions. Prominent party figures, including Bill Clinton and Nancy Pelosi, publicly endorsed Harris, underscoring her potential to break barriers as the first female president if elected. Harris's campaign promises included a middle-class tax cut and firm support for NATO and Ukraine. The convention concluded with calls for a collective move beyond past divisions, framing the upcoming election as crucial for the nation's future.
