Kamala Harris has accepted her party’s nomination in Chicago, and will progress with her presidential campaign as the Democratic candidate
The nomination is a just formality at this point, but the Democratic National Convention in Chicago – and her set-piece speech to close the event – is a key moment for a campaign that is short on time to introduce Harris as a presidential candidate to the US public.
Harris pledged to lead “for all Americans” and create an “opportunity economy” in a highly personal headline speech
Other key themes included protecting the right to abortion, unity and working-class aspiration
Harris also called for a ceasefire in Gaza, but did not address directly the protests taking place outside the convention over US support of Israel.
With the Democrat and Republican candidates now formally chosen, the race is well and truly underway.
