Vice President Kamala Harris formally accepted the Democratic presidential nomination at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago, emphasizing her commitment to being a President for all Americans and linking her campaign's 'freedom' theme to abortion rights. In her speech, she criticized Donald Trump for his role in the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, highlighting the personal stories of women affected by restrictive laws. Support for Harris came from various speakers, including North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper and Nevada Senator Catherine Cortez Masto, both underscoring her leadership and advocacy for families. Former First Lady Michelle Obama also passionately endorsed Harris, describing her as highly qualified and dignified, while denouncing Trump's previous actions and rhetoric. The DNC featured a mix of political and cultural figures, with celebrity appearances and performances adding to the event's atmosphere. The convention, running from August 19-22, served as a crucial platform for Democratic unity and mobilization ahead of the 2024 elections.
