The democratic nominee for president, vice President of the United States of America, Kamala Harris. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. So they thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah. OK. We gotta get to some business. We gotta get to some business. Ok. Thank you all. Ok. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, please. Thank you, please. Thank you so very much. Thank you, everyone. Thank you, everyone. Thank you. Ok, let's get to business. Let's get to business. All right. So let me start by thanking my most incredible husband, Doug for being an incredible partner. To me, an incredible father to Cole and Ella and Happy anniversary, Dougie. I love you so very much to our president, Joe Biden. When I think about the path that we have traveled together, Joe, I am filled with gratitude. Your record is extraordinary as history will show and your character is inspiring and Doug and I love you and Jill and are forever thankful to you both and to coach Tim walls. You are going to be an incredible vice president and to the delegates and everyone who has put your faith in our campaign, your support is humbling. So, America, the path that led me here in recent weeks was no doubt unexpected, but I'm no stranger to unlikely journeys. So my mother, our mother, Shyamala Harris had one of her own and I miss her every day and especially right now and I know she's looking down smiling. I know that. So my mother was 19 when she crossed the world alone, traveling from India to California with an unshakable dream to be the scientist who would cure breast cancer. When she finished school, she was supposed to return home to *** traditional arranged marriage. But as fate would have it, she met my father, Donald Harris, *** student from Jamaica. They, they fell in love and got married and that act of self determination made my sister Maya and me growing up, we moved *** lot. I will always remember that big Mayflower truck packed with all our belongings ready to go to Illinois to Wisconsin and wherever our parents' jobs took us. My early memories of our parents together are very joyful ones. *** home filled with laughter and music. Aretha cold train and miles at the park. My mother would say stay close, but my father would say as he smiled, run. Kamala run, don't be afraid. Don't let anything stop you from my earliest years, he taught me to be fearless, but the harmony between my parents did not last when I was in elementary school, they split up and it was mostly my mother who raised us before she could finally afford to buy *** home. She rented *** small apartment in the East Bay in the bay, in the bay. You either live in the hills or the flat lands. We lived in the flats, *** beautiful working class neighborhood of firefighters, nurses and construction workers, all who tended their lawns with pride. My mother, she worked long hours and like many working parents, she leaned on *** trusted circle to help raise us. Mrs Shelton, who ran the daycare below us and became *** second mother, Uncle Sherman, aunt Mary, uncle Freddie, auntie Chris, none of them family by blood and all of them family by love family who taught us how to make gumbo, how to play chess and sometimes even let us win. Family who loved us, believed in us and told us we could be anything and do anything they instilled in us, the values they personified community faith and the importance of treating others as you would want to be treated with kindness, respect and compassion. My mother was *** brilliant 5 ft tall brown woman with an accent and as the eldest child, as the eldest child, I saw how the world would sometimes treat her. But my mother never lost her cool. She was tough, courageous, *** Trailblazer in the fight for women's health. And she taught Maya and me *** lesson that Michelle mentioned the other night, she taught us to never complain about injustice but do something about it, do something about it. That was my mother and she taught us and she always, she also taught us and she also taught us and never do anything half asked. And that is *** direct quote, *** direct quote. I grew up immersed in the ideals of the civil rights movement. My parents had met at *** civil rights gathering and they made sure that we learned about civil rights leaders, including the lawyers like Thurgood Marshall and Con Constance Baker Motley, those who battled in the courtroom to make real the promise of America. So at *** young age, I decided I wanted to do that work, I wanted to be *** lawyer. And when it came time to choose the type of law I would pursue, I reflected on *** pivotal moment in my life. You see when I was in high school, I started to notice something about my best friend Wanda. She was sad at school and there were times she didn't want to go home. So one day I asked if everything was all right and she confided in me that she was being sexually abused by her stepfather. And I immediately told her she had to come stay with us and she did. This is one of the reasons I became *** prosecutor to protect people like Rwanda because I believe everyone has *** right to safety, to dignity and to justice. As *** prosecutor. When I had *** case, I charged it not in the name of the victim but in the name of the people for *** simple reason, in our system of justice, *** harm against any one of us is *** harm against all of us. And I would often explain this to console survivors of crime to remind them no one should be made to fight alone. We are all in this together and every day in the courtroom, I stood proudly before *** judge and I said five words, Kamala Harris for the people. And to be clear and to be clear, my entire career, I've only had one client, the people and so on behalf of the people, on behalf of every American, regardless of party race, gender or the language, *** grandmother speaks on behalf of my mother and everyone who has ever set out on their own unlikely journey on behalf of Americans like the people I grew up with people who work hard, chase their dreams and look out for one another on behalf of everyone whose story could only be written in the greatest nation on earth. I accept your nomination mistakes. And with this election and and with this election, our nation, our nation with this election has *** precious fleeting opportunity to move past the bitterness, cynicism and divisive battles of the past, *** chance to chart *** new way forward. Night, not as members of any one party or faction, but as Americans. And let me say, I know there are people of various political views watching tonight. And I want you to know, I promise to be *** president for all Americans. You can always trust me to put country above party and self to hold sacred. America's fundamental principles from the rule of law to free and fair elections to the peaceful transfer of power. I will be *** president who unites us around our highest aspirations. *** president who leads and listens who is realistic, practical and has common sense and always fights for the American people from the courthouse to the White House. That has been my life's work as *** young courtroom prosecutor in Oakland, California. I stood up for women and Children against predators who abuse them. As Attorney General of California, I took on the big banks delivered $20 billion for middle class families who faced foreclosure and helped pass *** homeowner bill of rights. One of the first of its kind in the nation. I stood up for veterans and students being scammed by big for profit colleges, workers who are being cheated out of their wages, the wages they were due for seniors facing elder abuse. I fought against the cartels who traffic in guns and drugs and human beings to threaten the security of our border and the safety of our communities. And I will tell you these fights were not easy and neither were the elections that put me in those offices. We were underestimated at practically every turn, but we never gave up because the future is always worth fighting for. That's the fight we are in right now. *** fight for America's future fellow Americans. This election is not only the most important of our lives. It is one of the most important in the life of our nation in many ways, Donald Trump is an unserious man, but the consequences, but the consequences of putting Donald Trump back in the White House are extremely serious. Consider, consider not only the chaos and calamity when he was in office but also the gravity of what has happened since he lost the last election. Donald Trump tried to throw away your votes when he failed. He sent an armed mob to the United States Capitol where they assaulted law enforcement officers. When politicians in his own party begged him to call off the mob and send help. He did the opposite. He fanned the flames and now for an entirely different set of crimes, he was found guilty of fraud by *** jury of everyday Americans and separately and separately found liable for committing sexual abuse and consider, consider what he intends to do if we give him power again, consider his explicit intent to set free violent extremists who assaulted those law enforcement officers at the capitol, his explicit intent to jail journalists, political opponents and anyone he sees as the enemy, his explicit intent to deploy our active duty military against our own citizens, consider, consider the power he will have. Especially after the United States Supreme Court just ruled that he would be immune from criminal prosecution. Just imagine Donald Trump with no guardrails and how he would use the immense powers of the presidency of the United States, not to improve your life, not to strengthen our national security, but to serve the only client he has ever had himself. And we know and we know what *** second Trump term would look like. It's all laid out in project 2025 written by his closest advisors and its sum total is to pull our country back to the past. But America, we are not going back, we are not going are not going back going back to when Donald Trump tried to cut Social Security and Medicare, we are not going back to when he tried to get rid of the Affordable Care Act. When insurance companies could deny people with pre existing conditions, we are not going to let him eliminate the Department of Education that funds our public schools. We are not going to let him end programs like head start that provide preschool and child care for our Children. America. We are not going back. We are charting and we are charting *** new way forward forward to *** future with *** strong and growing middle class because we know *** strong middle class has always been critical to America's success and building that middle class will be *** defining goal of my presidency. And I'll tell you this is personal for me, the middle class is where I come from. My mother kept *** strict budget. We lived within our means yet we wanted for little and she expected us to make the most of the opportunities that were available to us and to be grateful for them. Because as she taught us, opportunity is not available to everyone. That's why we will create what I call an opportunity economy, an opportunity economy where everyone has the chance to compete and *** chance to succeed you rural area, small town or big city. And as president, I will bring together labor and workers and business owners and entrepreneurs and American companies to create jobs to grow our economy and to lower the cost of everyday needs like health care and housing and groceries. We will provide access to capital for small business owners and entrepreneurs and founders. And we will end America's housing shortage, protect social security and Medicare. Now compare that to Donald Trump because I think everyone here knows he doesn't actually fight for the middle class, not he doesn't actually fight for the middle class. Instead, he fights for himself and his billionaire friends and he will give them another round of tax breaks that will add up to $5 trillion to the national debt and all the, while he intends to enact what in effect is *** national sales tax? Call it *** Trump tax that would raise prices on middle class families by almost $4000 *** year. Well, instead of *** Trump tax hike, we will pass *** middle class tax cut that will benefit more than one million Americans friends. I believe America cannot truly be prosperous unless Americans are fully able to make their own decisions about their own lives, especially on matters of heart and home. But tonight in America, too many women are not able to make those decisions. And let's be clear about how we got here, Donald Trump, hand picked members of the United States Supreme Court to take away reproductive freedom. And now he brags about it in his words, quote, I did it and I'm proud to have done it. End quote. Well, I'll tell you over the past two years, I've traveled across our country and women have told me their stories, husbands and fathers have shared theirs, stories of women miscarrying in *** parking lot, developing sepsis, losing the ability to ever again have Children. All because doctors are afraid they may go to jail for caring for their patients. Couples just trying to grow their family cut off in the middle of IVF treatments, Children who have survived sexual assault, potentially being forced to carry *** pregnancy to term. This is what's happening in our country because of Donald Trump and understand he is not done as *** part of his agenda. He and his allies would limit access to birth control, ban medication, abortion and enact *** nationwide abortion ban with or without Congress and get this, get this. He plans to create *** national anti abortion coordinator and force states to report on women's miscarriages and abortions. Simply put, they are out of their minds. Yes, one must ask why exactly is it that they don't trust women? Well, we trust women, we trust women. And when Congress passes *** bill to restore reproductive freedom, as President of the United States, I will proudly sign it into law in this election. Many other fundamental freedoms are at stake, the freedom to live safe from gun violence in our schools, communities and places of worship, the freedom to love who you love openly and with pride, the freedom to breathe clean air and drink clean water and live free from the pollution that fuels the climate crisis and the freedom that unlocks all the others, the freedom to vote with this election. We finally have the opportunity to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and the freedom to vote. And let me be clear and let me be clear after decades in law enforcement, I know the importance of safety and security, especially at our border. Last year, Joe and I brought together Democrats and conservative Republicans to write the strongest border bill in decades. The border patrol endorsed it. But Donald Trump believes *** border deal would hurt his campaign. So he ordered his allies in Congress to kill the deal. Well, I refuse to play politics with our security and here is my pledge to you as president, I will bring back the bipartisan border security bill that he killed and I will sign it into law. No, I know we can live up to our proud heritage as *** nation of immigrants and reform our broken immigration system. We can create an earned pathway to citizenship and secure our border and America. We must also be steadfast in advancing our security and values abroad. As vice president, I have confronted threats to our security, negotiated with foreign leaders, strengthened our alliances and engaged with our brave troops overseas. As commander in chief, I will ensure America always has the strongest, most lethal fighting force in the world. And I will fulfill our sacred obligation to care for our troops and their families. And I will always honor and never disparage their service and their sacrifice. I will make sure that was into the future on space and artificial intelligence that America not China wins the competition for the 21st century and that we strengthen, not abdicate our global leadership. Trump. On the other hand, threatened to abandon NATO. He encouraged Putin to invade our allies said Russia could do whatever the hell they want. Five days before Russia attacked Ukraine, I met with President Zelensky to warn him about Russia's plan to invade. I helped mobilize *** global response over 50 countries to defend against Putin's aggression. As President, I will stand strong with Ukraine and our NATO allies with respect to the war in Gaza. President Biden and I are working around the clock because now is the time to get *** hostage deal and *** ceasefire deal done. And let me be clear and let me be clear. I will always stand up for Israel's right to defend itself. And I will always ensure Israel has the ability to defend itself because the people of Israel must never again face the horror that *** terrorist organization called Hamas calls on October 7th including unspeakable sexual violence and the massacre of young people at *** music festival. At the same time. What has happened in Gaza over the past 10 months is devastating. So many innocent lives lost, desperate hungry people fleeing for safety over and over again. The scale of suffering is heartbreaking. President Biden and I are working to end this war such that Israel is secure, the hostages are released, the suffering in Gaza ends and the Palestinian people can realize their right to dignity, security. Yes, hesitate to take whatever action is necessary to defend our forces and our interests against Iran and Iran backed terrorists. I will not cozy up to tyrants and dictators like Kim Jong Un who are rooting for Trump for Trump because you know, they know, they know he is easy to manipulate with flattery and favors. They know Trump won't hold autocrats accountable because he wants to be an autocrat himself. And as president, I will never waiver in defense of America's security and ideals because in the enduring struggle between democracy and tyranny. I know where I stand and I know where the United States belongs. So fellow Americans, fellow Americans, I, I love our country with all my heart. Everywhere I go, everywhere I go and everyone I meet, I see *** nation that is ready to move forward, ready for the next step. In the incredible journey. That is America. I see an America where we hold fast to the fearless belief that built our nation and inspired the world that here in this country, anything is possible that nothing is out of reach an America where we care for one another. Look out for one another and recognize that we have so much more in common than what separates us of us. None of us has to fail for all of us to succeed. And that in unity, there is strength. You know, our opponents in this race are out there every day denigrating America talking about how terrible everything is. Well, my mother had another lesson. She used to teach. Never let anyone tell you who you are. You show them who you are. Let us show each other and the world who we are. And what we stand for, freedom, opportunity, compassion, dignity, fairness, and endless possibilities. We are the heirs to the greatest democracy in the history of the world and on behalf of our Children and our grandchildren and all those who sacrificed so dearly for our freedom and liberty. We must be worthy of this moment. It is now our turn to do what generations before us have done, guided by optimism and faith, to fight for this country. We love to fight for the ideals we cherish and to uphold the awesome responsibility that comes with the greatest privilege on earth, the privilege and pride of being an American. So let's get out there, let's fight for it. Let's get out there, let's vote for it. And together, let us write the next great chapter in the most extraordinary story ever told, you know, the United States of America. Thank you all. The democratic nominee for president, vice President of the United States of America, Kamala Harris. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. So they thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

You are going to be an incredible vice president and to the delegates and everyone who has put your faith in our campaign, your support is humbling. So, America, the path that led me here in recent weeks was no doubt unexpected, but I'm no stranger to unlikely journeys. So my mother, our mother, Shyamala Harris had one of her own and I miss her every day and especially right now and I know she's looking down smiling. I know that. So my mother was 19 when she crossed the world alone, traveling from India to California with an unshakable dream to be the scientist who would cure breast cancer. When she finished school, she was supposed to return home to *** traditional arranged marriage. But as fate would have it, she met my father, Donald Harris, *** student from Jamaica. They, they fell in love and got married and that act of self determination made my sister Maya and me growing up, we moved *** lot. I will always remember that big Mayflower truck packed with all our belongings ready to go to Illinois to Wisconsin and wherever our parents' jobs took us. My early memories of our parents together are very joyful ones. *** home filled with laughter and music. Aretha cold train and miles at the park. My mother would say stay close, but my father would say as he smiled, run. Kamala run, don't be afraid. Don't let anything stop you from my earliest years, he taught me to be fearless, but the harmony between my parents did not last when I was in elementary school, they split up and it was mostly my mother who raised us before she could finally afford to buy *** home. She rented *** small apartment in the East Bay in the bay, in the bay. You either live in the hills or the flat lands. We lived in the flats, *** beautiful working class neighborhood of firefighters, nurses and construction workers, all who tended their lawns with pride. My mother, she worked long hours and like many working parents, she leaned on *** trusted circle to help raise us. Mrs Shelton, who ran the daycare below us and became *** second mother, Uncle Sherman, aunt Mary, uncle Freddie, auntie Chris, none of them family by blood and all of them family by love family who taught us how to make gumbo, how to play chess and sometimes even let us win.

Yes, hesitate to take whatever action is necessary to defend our forces and our interests against Iran and Iran backed terrorists. I will not cozy up to tyrants and dictators like Kim Jong Un who are rooting for Trump for Trump because you know, they know, they know he is easy to manipulate with flattery and favors. They know Trump won't hold autocrats accountable because he wants to be an autocrat himself. And as president, I will never waiver in defense of America's security and ideals because in the enduring struggle between democracy and tyranny. I know where I stand and I know where the United States belongs. So fellow Americans, fellow Americans, I, I love our country with all my heart. Everywhere I go, everywhere I go and everyone I meet, I see *** nation that is ready to move forward, ready for the next step. In the incredible journey. That is America. I see an America where we hold fast to the fearless belief that built our nation and inspired the world that here in this country, anything is possible that nothing is out of reach an America where we care for one another. Look out for one another and recognize that we have so much more in common than what separates us of us. None of us has to fail for all of us to succeed. And that in unity, there is strength. You know, our opponents in this race are out there every day denigrating America talking about how terrible everything is. Well, my mother had another lesson. She used to teach. Never let anyone tell you who you are. You show them who you are. Let us show each other and the world who we are. And what we stand for, freedom, opportunity, compassion, dignity, fairness, and endless possibilities. We are the heirs to the greatest democracy in the history of the world and on behalf of our Children and our grandchildren and all those who sacrificed so dearly for our freedom and liberty. We must be worthy of this moment. It is now our turn to do what generations before us have done, guided by optimism and faith, to fight for this country. We love to fight for the ideals we cherish and to uphold the awesome responsibility that comes with the greatest privilege on earth, the privilege and pride of being an American. So let's get out there, let's fight for it. Let's get out there, let's vote for it. And together, let us write the next great chapter in the most extraordinary story ever told, you know, the United States of America. Thank you all.

Maxwell Frost: 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Our patriotism is more than some slogan on a hat바카라 게임 웹사이트�Rep. Maxwell Frost, the youngest and first Gen Z member of Congress, used his convention speech to talk about climate change.바카라 게임 웹사이트�This election is about every drop of water that we consume and every breath we breathe,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Frost said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Fighting the climate crisis is patriotic.바카라 게임 웹사이트�He added, 바카라 게임 웹사이트�And unlike Trump, our patriotism is more than some slogan on a hat.바카라 게임 웹사이트�It바카라 게임 웹사이트�s a major issue for a lot of young voters, but climate change hasn바카라 게임 웹사이트�t been a dominant theme at this week바카라 게임 웹사이트�s convention. Several speakers and prepackaged videos played throughout the arena have aimed to make the case for preserving resources for future generations. Members of the Central Park Five take the stageRev. Al Sharpton was joined onstage by members of the Central Park Five 바카라 게임 웹사이트� five men who were falsely accused of beating and raping a woman in a New York park when they were youths in the late 바카라 게임 웹사이트�80s. Antron McCray is the only member of the group not on stage.At the time they were accused, Donald Trump took out ads in four New York newspapers calling for the state to reinstate the death penalty.The boys were charged and convicted 바카라 게임 웹사이트� and later exonerated after serving time in prison. But the ads paid for by Trump drew a lot of attention and helped build his celebrity.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Our youth was stolen from us,바카라 게임 웹사이트� said Korey Wise, who blamed Trump for some of the harsh treatment they received from the public. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�He spent $85,000 on an ad ... calling for my execution.바카라 게임 웹사이트� Rep.

Elissa Slotkin, the Democratic Senate candidate in Michigan, used her convention speech to bring light to what a second Trump presidency would mean for America on the global stage.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Trump wants to take us backward,바카라 게임 웹사이트� she said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�He admires dictators ... a lot. He treats our friends as adversaries and our adversaries as friends.바카라 게임 웹사이트�She also tried to bridge her state바카라 게임 웹사이트�s fierce sports rivalries as she called on its voters to support Harris.Slotkin saluted the college football champion Michigan Wolverines, shouting바카라 게임 웹사이트�Go Blue!바카라 게임 웹사이트� But then she added, 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Go Green!바카라 게임 웹사이트� a reference to one of Michigan바카라 게임 웹사이트�s top rivals, Michigan State.The oversized 'Project 2025' book is backA large, bound copy of the roughly 900-page 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Project 2025바카라 게임 웹사이트� that Democrats have used all week as a prop at their convention made a return appearance for the final night.Democrats have used the plan as a way to attack Trump and his policies.Rep. Jason Crow of Colorado brought the oversized book on stage and said that Project 2025 would abandon U.S. troops, alleys and values. He said the plan endorses turning away from support for Ukraine in its war with Russia and calls for personnel changes of top military leaders.Elizabeth Warren gets a standing ovationAs she was welcomed to the stage Thursday, Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts received a standing ovation.After wiping a tear from her face, Warren, who competed against Harris when they each unsuccessfully ran for the Democratic party's nomination in the 2020 election cycle, spoke about her experience working with Harris when she was California's attorney general. At the time, Warren was working to set up the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Kamala Harris can바카라 게임 웹사이트�t be bought and she can바카라 게임 웹사이트�t be bossed around,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Warren said about her former Democratic rival.

Bob Casey, who is running to be reelected to his seat representing Pennsylvania, discussed 바카라 게임 웹사이트�shrinkflation,바카라 게임 웹사이트� which he, Harris and President Joe Biden have talked about this election cycle.Casey, in February, introduced legislation to 바카라 게임 웹사이트�crack down바카라 게임 웹사이트� on big corporations 바카라 게임 웹사이트�shrinking products without reducing prices.바카라 게임 웹사이트�"Most companies are good companies. It's the food conglomerates that sit behind the supermarkets. The faceless wholesalers, they're the ones who are extorting families at the checkout counter. This is greedflation.

And finally, we're starting to win."Biden, on more than one occasion, has endorsed the bill in public.Congressman makes AI crowd-size jokeWith artificial intelligence continuing to be a popular topic 바카라 게임 웹사이트� and with former President Donald Trump frequently commenting on and comparing crowd sizes, a U.S. congressman who spoke on Thursday made a joke about AI and the crowd.바카라 게임 웹사이트�As a computer science major, I am so impressed with how large this AI-generated crowd looks tonight,바카라 게임 웹사이트� U.S. Rep.

Baldwin was raised by her grandparents, she said, and, as they aged, she saw the importance of Social Security and Medicare.Baldwin said Trump has suggested both programs could be cut but 바카라 게임 웹사이트�we won바카라 게임 웹사이트�t let that happen.바카라 게임 웹사이트�바카라 게임 웹사이트�We Democrats, we honor our elders and ask the wealthy to pay their fair share,바카라 게임 웹사이트� she said.It바카라 게임 웹사이트�s a packed house in advance of Harris바카라 게임 웹사이트� arrivalUnlike some of the other nights of this DNC, just about every single seat appears to be filled in the United Center as programming kicks off.Long security lines have meant that delegates and guests had a hard time getting inside the arena. But as early as 2 p.m., delegates were already streaming toward the facility in which Harris will later accept the presidential nomination. Now, as the first speakers take the stage, they바카라 게임 웹사이트�re in their seats, with many wearing blinking or sparkly accessories like flashing blue hats for Illinois delegates, and foam cheese heads for Wisconsin delegates.Sen. Alex Padilla says Harris and Walz will 바카라 게임 웹사이트�defend the dream바카라 게임 웹사이트�California Sen. Alex Padilla, who was sworn in to fill Kamala Harris바카라 게임 웹사이트� Senate seat in 2021 after she became vice president, talked about how both he and Harris are a product of the American dream, coming from immigrant households and ascending to the highest levels of public office.바카라 게임 웹사이트�My question to you is this: This November, who is ready to defend the dream?바카라 게임 웹사이트� Padilla asked convention goers. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Tim Walz is ready to defend the dream. Kamala Harris is ready to defend the dream.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Teacher union leaders back the Harris-Walz ticketNo surprise that teachers바카라 게임 웹사이트� unions are backing the Harris-Walz ticket 바카라 게임 웹사이트� the vice presidential candidate is a former social studies teacher himself.

She said teachers know that actions are often more important than words.바카라 게임 웹사이트�My students taught me you바카라 게임 웹사이트�ve got to walk the walk,바카라 게임 웹사이트� she said.Female delegates are wearing white to honor women바카라 게임 웹사이트�s suffrage on the night of Harris바카라 게임 웹사이트� speechIf you think you바카라 게임 웹사이트�re seeing a lot of women wearing white tonight, you don바카라 게임 웹사이트�t need to adjust your television set.There appeared to be a coordinated effort among female delegates and Democratic supporters as they arrived at the United Center on Thursday afternoon, with security lines and convention floor seats filling up with women clad in white suits, dresses and other attire.When Harris takes the stage to accept the Democratic presidential nomination 바카라 게임 웹사이트� becoming the first Black woman, and only the second woman overall, to do so 바카라 게임 웹사이트� she will be looking out across a sea filled with the color of women바카라 게임 웹사이트�s suffrage, the movement that culminated with American women securing the right to vote in 1920.The homage is a couture callback to other momentous political events in which women wearing white have played a role, particularly for other glass ceiling moments.Video highlights Harris바카라 게임 웹사이트� life, professional achievementsA video, which is narrated by actor Morgan Freeman, played at the DNC.

CHICAGO —

The Democratic National Convention's fourth night featured Vice President Kamala Harris accepting her party's presidential nomination.

After a week of Democrats바카라 게임 웹사이트� most prominent figures rallying the party faithful, Harris accepted her party바카라 게임 웹사이트�s nomination. The convention is now over.

The theme of the final night was 바카라 게임 웹사이트�For Our Future."

Here's a look at the night's events:

Day 4 of the DNC ends

The fourth and final day of the Democratic National Convention has been gaveled out, ending the four-day event.

Harris hosts an 바카라 게임 웹사이트�anniversary바카라 게임 웹사이트� party for staffers

After her speech, Harris went to another part of the United Center and briefly addressed a group of staffers and supporters at a postconvention speech party.

바카라 게임 웹사이트�We just decided that we would celebrate our anniversary with all of you,바카라 게임 웹사이트� said Harris who accepted the Democratic presidential nomination on her and her husband Doug Emhoff바카라 게임 웹사이트�s 10th wedding anniversary.

The party included former Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin former Obama White House social secretary Desirée Rogers.

바카라 게임 웹사이트�Our fight is deeply and truly borne out of love of country,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Harris said, adding, 바카라 게임 웹사이트�celebrate tonight바카라 게임 웹사이트� and 바카라 게임 웹사이트�it바카라 게임 웹사이트�s been a wonderful convention.바카라 게임 웹사이트�

Protestors clash with Chicago police

A few dozen protesters fought briefly with Chicago police on the edge of Union Park.

The small group, leftover from the earlier demonstration, planned to march toward the convention center, but they were blocked by rows of police in riot gear who pushed into the group, shouting, 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Move back.바카라 게임 웹사이트�

Several of the protesters surged forward, with some swinging wooden signs down on the officers. The group has since retreated to the park, where an organizer said they plan to regroup. Police have ordered all media to leave the area, warning over a loudspeaker, 바카라 게임 웹사이트�If you fail to comply, you will be in violation of the law and we will place you into custody.바카라 게임 웹사이트�

Harris바카라 게임 웹사이트� blended family is a political first

The image of a mixed-race family joining the candidate on stage as she accepts the nomination to potentially be the first Black and Asian American female president is a political first in many ways.

Harris closes DNC by summoning Americans to reject political divisions

After speaking for about 37 minutes, Harris wrapped up her speech and was joined on stage by her husband, Doug Emhoff, along with running mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and his wife, Gwen.

Family members began to play with some of the 100,000 red, white and blue balloons that began to cascade from netting where they바카라 게임 웹사이트�d been held in the ceiling all week.

Harris reaffirms her support for Ukraine and NATO

Harris made a forceful defense of Ukraine and NATO in her speech as she lambasted Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트�s past comments on the war in Ukraine.

바카라 게임 웹사이트�As President, I will stand strong with Ukraine and our NATO allies,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Harris said.

Harris touted that five days before Russia invaded Ukraine, 바카라 게임 웹사이트�I warned President Zelenskyy바카라 게임 웹사이트� and helped lead the U.S. diplomatic response in rallying 바카라 게임 웹사이트�more than 50 countries.바카라 게임 웹사이트�

Access to United Center has been restricted

The DNC has restricted access to the United Center, which is at capacity, in the final hours of the convention, according to the Chicago Fire Department.

A fire department spokesperson said on X that the decision was made by the DNC in consultation with Chicago fire officials. He said both city fire and DNC officials would continue to monitor the situation.

Crowds of credentialed journalists were photographed outside the United Center, where they were not allowed entry into the stadium. The United Center can hold about 23,500 people.

바카라 게임 웹사이트�The scale of suffering is heartbreaking바카라 게임 웹사이트�

In a stunning departure from the Biden campaign, Harris made the U.S.바카라 게임 웹사이트�s most forceful message yet on the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas.

The vice president said that she would 바카라 게임 웹사이트�always stand up for Israel바카라 게임 웹사이트�s right to defend itself,바카라 게임 웹사이트� while pushing for the release of the hostages and the implementation of a cease-fire deal.

바카라 게임 웹사이트�At the same time, what has happened in Gaza in the last 10 months is devastating, so many innocent lives lost,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Harris said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Desperate, hungry people fleeing to safety over and over again. The scale of suffering is heartbreaking.바카라 게임 웹사이트�

Harris looks to flip the script on border security

Border security has been a major point of GOP criticism for Harris and her campaign, but the Democrat is drawing big cheers from her arena of delegates for her border plans.

Harris said, 바카라 게임 웹사이트�I know we can live up to our proud heritage as a nation of immigrants and reform our broken immigration system.바카라 게임 웹사이트�

She also criticized Trump for his own actions, saying he 바카라 게임 웹사이트�ordered his allies in Congress to kill바카라 게임 웹사이트� a border bill.

바카라 게임 웹사이트�Well, I refuse to play politics with our security,바카라 게임 웹사이트� she said, pledging to 바카라 게임 웹사이트�bring back the bipartisan border security bill바카라 게임 웹사이트� and saying she바카라 게임 웹사이트�d sign it into law.

Outside the DNC, protestors hold a sit-in

While Harris is in the middle of her nomination acceptance speech inside the Democratic National Convention, protestors outside have staged an impromptu sit-in on Chicago바카라 게임 웹사이트�s Ashland Avenue.

The man leading it, who declined to be identified, said he initially sat because he was exhausted from hours of marching. Before long, about 100 others had joined him, singing 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Which Side Are You On?바카라 게임 웹사이트� over bongo players and an electric guitar. While police initially called on the group to disburse, they retreated after the request was ignored.

Signs are a big thing at the convention

For Harris바카라 게임 웹사이트� key moment, there are many color-coordinated options around the United Center.

Delegates have vertical blue signs with 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Kamala바카라 게임 웹사이트� written out. Many people have added American flags handed out earlier in the night atop the post holding those blue signs, hoisting the flags further aloft.

Delegates in the seats directly in front of Harris 바카라 게임 웹사이트� between the stage and the platform that holds a number of cameras broadcasting the convention 바카라 게임 웹사이트� have smaller rectangular signs reading 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Harris-Walz.바카라 게임 웹사이트�

Harris blasts Trump on abortion

In her speech, Harris touched on what has become the central policy issue of her vice presidency and now her campaign: the risk to reproductive rights.

바카라 게임 웹사이트�Tonight in America, too many women are not able to make those decisions,바카라 게임 웹사이트� she said.

바카라 게임 웹사이트�And let바카라 게임 웹사이트�s be clear about how we got here: Donald Trump handpicked members of the United States Supreme Court to take away reproductive rights.바카라 게임 웹사이트� She added, 바카라 게임 웹사이트�One must ask why exactly is it that they don바카라 게임 웹사이트�t trust women? Well, we trust women.바카라 게임 웹사이트�

Harris promises an 바카라 게임 웹사이트�opportunity economy바카라 게임 웹사이트�

바카라 게임 웹사이트�The middle class is where I come from,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Harris said, describing for delegates how her late mother kept a 바카라 게임 웹사이트�strict budget바카라 게임 웹사이트� and 바카라 게임 웹사이트�we lived within our means.바카라 게임 웹사이트�

She said her mother taught her and her sister, Maya, that opportunity is not available to everyone.

But now Harris promises to create an 바카라 게임 웹사이트�opportunity economy,바카라 게임 웹사이트� where she said, 바카라 게임 웹사이트�everyone has the chance to compete and a chance to succeed.바카라 게임 웹사이트�

She also promised a 바카라 게임 웹사이트�middle-class tax cut.바카라 게임 웹사이트�

Harris charts 바카라 게임 웹사이트�a new way forward바카라 게임 웹사이트�

바카라 게임 웹사이트�We are not going back바카라 게임 웹사이트� chants broke out in the venue as Harris criticized Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트�s record and began outlining her vision for the nation.

바카라 게임 웹사이트�We are charting a new way forward, forward to a future with a strong middle class,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Harris said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�And building that middle class will be a defining goal of my presidency.바카라 게임 웹사이트�

Harris lays out her case against Trump

Harris issued warnings about how Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트�s prior willingness to violate the law indicates a willingness for a reckless second term if he바카라 게임 웹사이트�s elected to the White House again.

The former prosecutor listed off Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트�s conviction in the New York fraud case, as well as the judgment against him in the E. Jean Carroll case.

바카라 게임 웹사이트�Just imagine Donald Trump with no guardrails and how he would use the immense powers of the presidency of the United States, not to improve your life, not to strengthen our national security but to serve the only client that he has ever had: himself,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Harris warned.

바카라 게임 웹사이트�A president for all Americans바카라 게임 웹사이트�

The loudest applause came after Harris made a plea to all across the aisle, saying that she pledges to uphold the rule of law.

바카라 게임 웹사이트�I promise to be a president for all Americans, to hold sacred America바카라 게임 웹사이트�s constitutional principles, fundamental principles, from the rule of law and fair elections to the peaceful transfer of power,바카라 게임 웹사이트� she said.

Harris said her best friend Wanda is one of the reasons she became a prosecutor

She said Wanda confided in her that she was being sexually abused by her stepfather when they were in high school. Harris invited her friend to come live with her.

바카라 게임 웹사이트�This is one of the reasons I became a prosecutor,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Harris said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Everyone has a right to safety and to dignity and to justice.바카라 게임 웹사이트�

바카라 게임 웹사이트�Kamala Harris, for the people바카라 게임 웹사이트�

One of the advantages of having run for president before is that Harris has had time to hone parts of the campaign speech that comprises pieces of what she바카라 게임 웹사이트�s delivering at the DNC.

In her 2020 presidential bid, Harris often spoke of her role as a prosecutor and the personal experiences that inspired her to take on that career.

She also reflected, verbatim, several lines that date back to least her 2019 campaign launch, saying that she always introduced herself as 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Kamala Harris, for the people.바카라 게임 웹사이트�

Afterward, Harris said that she accepted the Democratic presidential nomination, to a roaring, sign-waving crowd.

Video below: See the moment Harris accepted the nomination

Harris drew a direct line between her current values and politics with her upbringing in a civil rights-oriented household. Harris noted that her parents met amid the civil rights movement and raised her with values of social justice.

바카라 게임 웹사이트�My mother was a five-foot-tall, brown woman with an accent,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Harris said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�And as the eldest child 바카라 게임 웹사이트� I saw how the world would sometimes treat her, but my mother never lost her cool,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Harris said.

바카라 게임 웹사이트�She taught us to never complain about injustice but to do something about it,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Harris said to cheers. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�And she also told us to never do something 바카라 게임 웹사이트�half-assed.바카라 게임 웹사이트� And that is a direct quote,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Harris said.

Harris honors her parents

Harris might be a well-known figure as vice president, but, on the biggest stage of her presidential campaign thus far, she바카라 게임 웹사이트�s still took the opportunity to get into some biography.

After a speech by her sister, Maya, who made repeated references to their mother바카라 게임 웹사이트�s accomplishments, Harris 바카라 게임 웹사이트� who doesn바카라 게임 웹사이트�t frequently mention her father 바카라 게임 웹사이트� spoke about both of her parents, then her upbringing, primarily at the hands of her mother.

In an emotional tribute to her mother and father, Harris talked about the lessons she learned from both her parents who divorced when she was young. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�My mother would stay, stay close,바카라 게임 웹사이트� she said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�But my father would say as he smiled, 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Run Kamala! Run! Don바카라 게임 웹사이트�t be afraid. Don바카라 게임 웹사이트�t let anything stop you.바카라 게임 웹사이트�바카라 게임 웹사이트�

Kamala Harris gets standing ovation, speaks on for the fourth and final night of the DNC

Harris was greeted by an ovation that spanned nearly 3 minutes before she was able to begin her speech.

바카라 게임 웹사이트�OK, let바카라 게임 웹사이트�s get to business,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Harris said after thunderous cheers drowned out her attempts to get started.

바카라 게임 웹사이트�And happy anniversary, Dougie,바카라 게임 웹사이트� she said, marking their 10th wedding anniversary.

Video below: Harris wishes Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff a happy anniversary.

Harris takes the stage to give acceptance speech

Vice President Kamala Harris took to the DNC stage to give her acceptance speech for the party바카라 게임 웹사이트�s presidential nomination.

In accepting the party nomination, Harris is the first Black woman and first person of South Asian descent to accept a major party's presidential nomination.

Gov. Roy Cooper knows the crowd wants Harris

North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper isn바카라 게임 웹사이트�t beating around the bush in prime-time programming: He knows delegates are ready to hear from their nominee.

Cooper took the stage Thursday noting that he바카라 게임 웹사이트�s 바카라 게임 웹사이트�the last guy standing between you and the moment we바카라 게임 웹사이트�re all waiting for바카라 게임 웹사이트� 바카라 게임 웹사이트� Harris바카라 게임 웹사이트� acceptance of the Democratic nomination.

Cooper recalled how he served alongside Harris when both were attorneys general in their respective states.

Cooper바카라 게임 웹사이트�s name had been floated as a possible VP for Harris after she ascended to the top of Democrats바카라 게임 웹사이트� ticket.

Maya Harris honors her and Kamala바카라 게임 웹사이트�s mother

Harris바카라 게임 웹사이트� sister is, as the VP often does, talking about her mother바카라 게임 웹사이트�s support in her daughters growing up to be strong women.

Maya Harris says that her mother 바카라 게임 웹사이트�was a trailblazer who defied the odds and defied herself.바카라 게임 웹사이트�

Kamala Harris often talks about her mother바카라 게임 웹사이트�s influence on her understanding of the world and her commitment to fighting for the rights of others.

바카라 게임 웹사이트�Kamala바카라 게임 웹사이트�s entire life has been about fighting for each of us to have that freedom,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Maya Harris said, of her sister.

Getting choked up, Maya Harris said she wished her mother could be present in the hall tonight, saying she could envision seeing her smiling and saying 바카라 게임 웹사이트�how proud she is of Kamala,바카라 게임 웹사이트� before telling 바카라 게임 웹사이트�all of us to roll up our sleeves and get to work.바카라 게임 웹사이트�

Former U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, a Republican, speaks at the DNC

Rep. Adam Kinzinger was the latest Republican to speak on the DNC stage in support of the Harris-Walz ticket. Kinzinger retired from Congress after he criticized his own party in the aftermath of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack when a mob of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol in a bid to stop Joe Biden from becoming president. Kinzinger, at the invitation of Democrats, defied his leadership to join Republican Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming as a member of the House committee investigating the attack.

바카라 게임 웹사이트�Some have questioned why I바카라 게임 웹사이트�ve taken the stand I have,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Kinzinger said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�The answer is simple, ladies and gentlemen. We must put country first. And tonight, as a Republican speaking before you, I바카라 게임 웹사이트�m putting our country first.바카라 게임 웹사이트�

He added, 바카라 게임 웹사이트�I know Kamala Harris shares my allegiance to the rule of law, the constitution and democracy.바카라 게임 웹사이트�

Eva Longoria also worked at a fast-food restaurant

Actress Eva Longoria says that Harris 바카라 게임 웹사이트�worked at McDonald바카라 게임 웹사이트�s, but I worked at Wendy바카라 게임 웹사이트�s.바카라 게임 웹사이트�

바카라 게임 웹사이트�And look at us now,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Longoria declared.

Harris has frequently discussed previously working at McDonald바카라 게임 웹사이트�s as she works to make her middle-class upbringing more relatable to voters.

Gov. Whitmer addresses the DNC, portrays Trump as being out of touch

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is considered a rising star in the Democratic Party, and that바카라 게임 웹사이트�s the sort of welcome she got at the United Center.

The Michigan Democrat took the stage to big cheers, telling the at-capacity crowd that she바카라 게임 웹사이트�s known in Detroit as 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Big Gretch,바카라 게임 웹사이트� and, as a woman, knows how to 바카라 게임 웹사이트�GSD 바카라 게임 웹사이트� get stuff done.바카라 게임 웹사이트�

Talking about Harris, Whitmer said the Democratic nominee 바카라 게임 웹사이트�gets us. She sees us. She is us.바카라 게임 웹사이트�

But of the GOP nominee, Whitmer went on, 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Donald Trump doesn바카라 게임 웹사이트�t know you, at all.바카라 게임 웹사이트�

바카라 게임 웹사이트�Hell, you think he바카라 게임 웹사이트�s even been to a grocery store?바카라 게임 웹사이트� Whitmer asked, implying Trump is out of touch with the needs of everyday Americans.

Whitmer바카라 게임 웹사이트�s name is often mentioned as a future presidential candidate for Democrats.

Swing state officials get prime speaking (and seating)

They바카라 게임 웹사이트�ll play a big role in the general election, but the swing states are also being well represented at this week바카라 게임 웹사이트�s DNC.

Throughout the week, representatives from the battlegrounds of Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia and Arizona have been making appearances on the United Center stage.

Those speakers, like Arizona Rep. Ruben Gallego and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, haven바카라 게임 웹사이트�t necessarily spent lots of time talking specifically about why their states would be critical wins for Democrats. But as they take the stage, they get a big welcome from their state바카라 게임 웹사이트�s delegation 바카라 게임 웹사이트� and it바카라 게임 웹사이트�s no accident that lots of those delegations have prime seating in the arena.

P!nk duets protest song with her 12-year-old daughter

P!nk dueted with her 12-year-old daughter Willow Sage Hart on her song 바카라 게임 웹사이트�What About Us바카라 게임 웹사이트� at the Democratic convention.

The two, wearing black and accompanied by only a few backup singers and an acoustic guitar, harmonized in sober but heartfelt tones on the 2017 protest song P!nk co-wrote.

바카라 게임 웹사이트�What about all the broken happy ever afters?바카라 게임 웹사이트� the mother and daughter sang. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�What about all the plans that ended in disaster?바카라 게임 웹사이트�

Their performance came after Rep. Gabby Giffords and others affected by gun violence had given emotional presentations to the crowd.

Sen. Mark Kelly stresses the importance of teamwork

The Arizona Democrat said Thursday, 바카라 게임 웹사이트�I바카라 게임 웹사이트�ve flown into space four times. I바카라 게임 웹사이트�ve flown into combat nearly 40 times. Not once did I do that by myself.바카라 게임 웹사이트�

In a somewhat rare occurrence during the convention바카라 게임 웹사이트�s closing night, Kelly invoked Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트�s name, saying that the GOP nominee 바카라 게임 웹사이트�skipped his intelligence briefings바카라 게임 웹사이트� because he was 바카라 게임 웹사이트�too busy sucking up to dictators and dreaming of becoming one himself.바카라 게임 웹사이트�

Kelly also quipped that it was tough to follow his wife, former Rep. Gabby Giffords, who got a lengthy ovation Thursday as she appeared and talked about the 2011 shooting that left her gravely wounded.

바카라 게임 웹사이트�President Obama had to follow Michelle,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Kelly said, recollecting the convention schedule from Tuesday. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�I had to follow Gabby and Pink.바카라 게임 웹사이트�

Shooting survivor and former Rep. Gabby Giffords advocates for firearm legislation

After surviving a mass shooting at a 2011 meet-and-greet event, former Rep. Gabby Giffords was joined by her husband, Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona, to bring light to the issue of gun violence in America.

바카라 게임 웹사이트�Kamala can beat the gun lobby and can beat gun trafficking,바카라 게임 웹사이트� said Giffords, who opened the Giffords Law Center to track and analyze firearm legislation in all 50 states.

Rep. Lucy McBath of Georgia, who has become one of the top congressional advocates against gun violence, spoke of how she lost her son Jordan to gun violence in 2012.

바카라 게임 웹사이트�They should still be here,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Newtown, Connecticut, teacher Abbey Clements said of the students and staff killed at her elementary school in 2012.

Kim Rubio of Uvalde, Texas, recalled the 2022 shooting at Robb Elementary School in where her daughter was killed.

Melody McFadden of Charleston, South Carolina, said her niece was 22 when she was shot to death in Myrtle Beach in 2014. Edgar Vilchez of Chicago said he 바카라 게임 웹사이트�learned how to hide and how to drop바카라 게임 웹사이트� in school, to escape violence, but that there are also lessons in 바카라 게임 웹사이트�writing the story that we choose to바카라 게임 웹사이트� when it comes to lessening gun violence.

Joe and Jill Biden wish Harris luck from their vacation in California

This was supposed to be the night when President Biden accepted the Democratic nomination for a second term on stage in Chicago.

Instead, he바카라 게임 웹사이트�s on vacation in California as Harris prepares to become the party바카라 게임 웹사이트�s nominee.

The White House said Biden and first lady Jill Biden called Harris to wish her luck before her speech.

바카라 게임 웹사이트�We can바카라 게임 웹사이트�t wait to watch her accept this historic nomination,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Biden wrote on social media. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Kamala and Tim will inspire a generation and lead us into the future.바카라 게임 웹사이트�

바카라 게임 웹사이트�An American president must lead the world in tackling climate change,' Interior Secretary says

Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, the first Native American to serve as a cabinet secretary, said Vice President Kamala Harris is the best candidate to confront the climate crisis.

바카라 게임 웹사이트�An American president must lead the world in tackling climate change,바카라 게임 웹사이트�바카라 게임 웹사이트� Haaland told delegates at the DNC. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�We need a president who understands that assignment. That바카라 게임 웹사이트�s Kamala Harris. I know her record. She held polluters accountable for spilling oil into the San Francisco Bay. She defended President Obama바카라 게임 웹사이트�s Clean Power Plan in court. And as vice president, she cast a tie-breaking vote for the most ambitious climate action plan in our nation바카라 게임 웹사이트�s history,바카라 게임 웹사이트�바카라 게임 웹사이트� the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act.

바카라 게임 웹사이트�Kamala Harris and Tim Walz will fight for a future where we all have clean air, clean water and healthy communities,바카라 게임 웹사이트�바카라 게임 웹사이트� Haaland said to thunderous cheers.

Democrats get some help on pronouncing Harris바카라 게임 웹사이트� name correctly

How to correctly pronounce Harris바카라 게임 웹사이트� first name has come up repeatedly. At the DNC바카라 게임 웹사이트�s closing night, prime-time emcee Kerry Washington brought the nominee바카라 게임 웹사이트�s great nieces on stage to help.

바카라 게임 웹사이트�It바카라 게임 웹사이트�s come to my attention that there are some folks who struggle, or pretend to struggle, with the proper pronunciation of our future president바카라 게임 웹사이트�s name,바카라 게임 웹사이트� the 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Scandal바카라 게임 웹사이트� actor said to kick off prime-time speeches. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Confusion is understandable. Disrespect is not. So tonight we are going to help everyone get it right.바카라 게임 웹사이트�

Washington then brought up Amara, 8, and Leela, 6 바카라 게임 웹사이트� daughters of Harris바카라 게임 웹사이트� niece Meena Harris 바카라 게임 웹사이트� to lead the United Center crowd in a call-and-response chat about putting together 바카라 게임 웹사이트�comma바카라 게임 웹사이트� and then 바카라 게임 웹사이트�la.바카라 게임 웹사이트�

Some Republicans, including Trump, regularly pronounce Harris바카라 게임 웹사이트� first name incorrectly as 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Kah-MAH-la.바카라 게임 웹사이트� When asked why, Trump said last month that he had heard Harris바카라 게임 웹사이트� first name said 바카라 게임 웹사이트�about seven different ways.바카라 게임 웹사이트�

At the DNC, some speakers have pronounced Harris바카라 게임 웹사이트� name incorrectly, including former President Bill Clinton and Rev. Al Sharpton.

Kerry Washington: 바카라 게임 웹사이트�You are the Olivia Popes!바카라 게임 웹사이트�

Actor Kerry Washington told the audience, 바카라 게임 웹사이트�You are the fixers, you are the Olivia Popes!바카라 게임 웹사이트� as she opened the prime-time hours as host of the final night of the Democratic convention.

Washington has been best known in recent years for the ABC TV series 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Scandal,바카라 게임 웹사이트� on which she plays Olivia Pope, crisis manager to a U.S. president, played by Monday night바카라 게임 웹사이트�s DNC host Tony Goldwyn. Goldwyn appeared on stage, hugged her, and helped her shoot a video of the arena.

Washington has been among the most vocal Hollywood supporters of Harris since she became a presidential candidate last month.

She was also a big supporter of President Biden, playing a virtual hosting role at the 2020 COVID-19-limited convention that brought his nomination.

The Chicks kept it a capella for the national anthem

The Chicks, the Texas trio of Natalie Maines, Martie Maguire and Emily Strayer were minus their banjos, fiddle and guitar as they sang in three-part harmony (with no audible effects) at the United Center.

They sang 바카라 게임 웹사이트�The Star-Spangled Banner바카라 게임 웹사이트� in the same style at the 2020 convention, but that rendition was remote and prerecorded for the COVID-19-limited convention.

Little-known names performed the anthem to open the first three nights of the Chicago convection, but 바카라 게임 웹사이트�The Star-Spangled Banner바카라 게임 웹사이트� was moved to prime time Thursday night, not long before Harris is scheduled to speak.

The Chicks have never been shy about getting into the political mix.

They dropped the 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Dixie바카라 게임 웹사이트� from the front of their name 바카라 게임 웹사이트� timed to the release of 바카라 게임 웹사이트�March, March,바카라 게임 웹사이트� a song about social justice 바카라 게임 웹사이트� amid the nationwide George Floyd protests and a surge in Black Lives Matter sentiment.

In 2003 during the run-up to the Iraq War, Maines said on stage in London that they were ashamed that President George W. Bush was from Texas.

That led to a big backlash and exile from many country circles. They turned the negative attention into one of their biggest hits, 2006바카라 게임 웹사이트�s 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Not Ready to Make Nice.바카라 게임 웹사이트�

Chicago drumline continues convention tradition

The Democratic primary is over, but remnants of one of its mainstays made an appearance at the United Center: a drumline.

On Thursday night, several white-clad drummers played an energetic set, including a moment where one of them played the drums while being held upside down.

Especially at Democratic presidential primary events, drumlines are a frequent fixture of many political events. During the 2020 cycle, Harris appeared at a Charleston, South Carolina, event where drumlines from several local colleges performed.

NBA all-star Steph Curry endorses Harris over video at DNC

He wasn바카라 게임 웹사이트�t on the schedule, but NBA star and Olympic gold medal winner Stephen Curry just popped up on the big screens at the DNC to lend his support to Harris바카라 게임 웹사이트� campaign.

Welcomed by big cheers from the thousands packed into the United Center for the convention바카라 게임 웹사이트�s closing night, Curry said his amped-up feeling of patriotism during the recent Olympics drove home for him that 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Kamala Harris as president will bring that unity back.바카라 게임 웹사이트�

Curry, who plays for the Golden State Warriors, who said last month that he supported Harris, closed by saying, 바카라 게임 웹사이트�The Oval Office would suit her well. In the words of Michelle Obama, do something. Go vote.바카라 게임 웹사이트�

Earlier this week, Curry바카라 게임 웹사이트�s Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr took the DNC stage to endorse Harris as well.

Rep. Colin Allred draws contrast between 바카라 게임 웹사이트�me바카라 게임 웹사이트� and 바카라 게임 웹사이트�we바카라 게임 웹사이트�

Rep. Colin Allred, D-Texas, who is campaigning to unseat Sen. Ted Cruz, talked about how the Republican senator and others in the party are 바카라 게임 웹사이트�me guys.바카라 게임 웹사이트�

바카라 게임 웹사이트�Guys who talk a big game and only care about themselves,바카라 게임 웹사이트� he said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�But you know what has stuck with, is that America has never been about 바카라 게임 웹사이트�me.바카라 게임 웹사이트�바카라 게임 웹사이트�

He added, 바카라 게임 웹사이트�President Obama said I think the most powerful word in our democracy is the word 바카라 게임 웹사이트�we.바카라 게임 웹사이트�바카라 게임 웹사이트�

Rep. Maxwell Frost: 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Our patriotism is more than some slogan on a hat바카라 게임 웹사이트�

Rep. Maxwell Frost, the youngest and first Gen Z member of Congress, used his convention speech to talk about climate change.

바카라 게임 웹사이트�This election is about every drop of water that we consume and every breath we breathe,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Frost said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Fighting the climate crisis is patriotic.바카라 게임 웹사이트�

He added, 바카라 게임 웹사이트�And unlike Trump, our patriotism is more than some slogan on a hat.바카라 게임 웹사이트�

It바카라 게임 웹사이트�s a major issue for a lot of young voters, but climate change hasn바카라 게임 웹사이트�t been a dominant theme at this week바카라 게임 웹사이트�s convention. Several speakers and prepackaged videos played throughout the arena have aimed to make the case for preserving resources for future generations.

Members of the Central Park Five take the stage

Rev. Al Sharpton was joined onstage by members of the Central Park Five 바카라 게임 웹사이트� five men who were falsely accused of beating and raping a woman in a New York park when they were youths in the late 바카라 게임 웹사이트�80s. Antron McCray is the only member of the group not on stage.

At the time they were accused, Donald Trump took out ads in four New York newspapers calling for the state to reinstate the death penalty.

The boys were charged and convicted 바카라 게임 웹사이트� and later exonerated after serving time in prison. But the ads paid for by Trump drew a lot of attention and helped build his celebrity.

바카라 게임 웹사이트�Our youth was stolen from us,바카라 게임 웹사이트� said Korey Wise, who blamed Trump for some of the harsh treatment they received from the public. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�He spent $85,000 on an ad ... calling for my execution.바카라 게임 웹사이트�

Rep. Elissa Slotkin says Trump will take the US 바카라 게임 웹사이트�backward바카라 게임 웹사이트�

Rep. Elissa Slotkin, the Democratic Senate candidate in Michigan, used her convention speech to bring light to what a second Trump presidency would mean for America on the global stage.

바카라 게임 웹사이트�Trump wants to take us backward,바카라 게임 웹사이트� she said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�He admires dictators ... a lot. He treats our friends as adversaries and our adversaries as friends.바카라 게임 웹사이트�

She also tried to bridge her state바카라 게임 웹사이트�s fierce sports rivalries as she called on its voters to support Harris.

Slotkin saluted the college football champion Michigan Wolverines, shouting바카라 게임 웹사이트�Go Blue!바카라 게임 웹사이트� But then she added, 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Go Green!바카라 게임 웹사이트� a reference to one of Michigan바카라 게임 웹사이트�s top rivals, Michigan State.

The oversized 'Project 2025' book is back

A large, bound copy of the roughly 900-page 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Project 2025바카라 게임 웹사이트� that Democrats have used all week as a prop at their convention made a return appearance for the final night.

Democrats have used the plan as a way to attack Trump and his policies.

Rep. Jason Crow of Colorado brought the oversized book on stage and said that Project 2025 would abandon U.S. troops, alleys and values. He said the plan endorses turning away from support for Ukraine in its war with Russia and calls for personnel changes of top military leaders.

Elizabeth Warren gets a standing ovation

As she was welcomed to the stage Thursday, Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts received a standing ovation.

After wiping a tear from her face, Warren, who competed against Harris when they each unsuccessfully ran for the Democratic party's nomination in the 2020 election cycle, spoke about her experience working with Harris when she was California's attorney general. At the time, Warren was working to set up the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

바카라 게임 웹사이트�Kamala Harris can바카라 게임 웹사이트�t be bought and she can바카라 게임 웹사이트�t be bossed around,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Warren said about her former Democratic rival. The two women served in the Senate together.

Pennsylvania senator takes aim at 바카라 게임 웹사이트�greedflation바카라 게임 웹사이트�

U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, who is running to be reelected to his seat representing Pennsylvania, discussed 바카라 게임 웹사이트�shrinkflation,바카라 게임 웹사이트� which he, Harris and President Joe Biden have talked about this election cycle.

Casey, in February, introduced legislation to 바카라 게임 웹사이트�crack down바카라 게임 웹사이트� on big corporations 바카라 게임 웹사이트�shrinking products without reducing prices.바카라 게임 웹사이트�

"Most companies are good companies. It's the food conglomerates that sit behind the supermarkets. The faceless wholesalers, they're the ones who are extorting families at the checkout counter. This is greedflation. I've been fighting it a long time. So is Kamala Harris. And finally, we're starting to win."

Biden, on more than one occasion, has endorsed the bill in public.

Congressman makes AI crowd-size joke

With artificial intelligence continuing to be a popular topic 바카라 게임 웹사이트� and with former President Donald Trump frequently commenting on and comparing crowd sizes, a U.S. congressman who spoke on Thursday made a joke about AI and the crowd.

바카라 게임 웹사이트�As a computer science major, I am so impressed with how large this AI-generated crowd looks tonight,바카라 게임 웹사이트� U.S. Rep. Ted Lieu said as he was met with laughter from the crowd.
Lieu, of California, then talked about his experience working with Harris during the 2008 recession and housing crisis.

Wisconsin Sen. Tammy Baldwin rallied convention delegates with calls to protect entitlements for older Americans.

Baldwin, who is up for reelection this cycle, spoke as members of her home state delegation chanted 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Tammy! Tammy!바카라 게임 웹사이트�

She told of her mother being a teenager who struggled with addiction when she was born, and of having never met her father. Baldwin was raised by her grandparents, she said, and, as they aged, she saw the importance of Social Security and Medicare.

Baldwin said Trump has suggested both programs could be cut but 바카라 게임 웹사이트�we won바카라 게임 웹사이트�t let that happen.바카라 게임 웹사이트�

바카라 게임 웹사이트�We Democrats, we honor our elders and ask the wealthy to pay their fair share,바카라 게임 웹사이트� she said.

It바카라 게임 웹사이트�s a packed house in advance of Harris바카라 게임 웹사이트� arrival

Unlike some of the other nights of this DNC, just about every single seat appears to be filled in the United Center as programming kicks off.

Long security lines have meant that delegates and guests had a hard time getting inside the arena. But as early as 2 p.m., delegates were already streaming toward the facility in which Harris will later accept the presidential nomination. Now, as the first speakers take the stage, they바카라 게임 웹사이트�re in their seats, with many wearing blinking or sparkly accessories like flashing blue hats for Illinois delegates, and foam cheese heads for Wisconsin delegates.

Sen. Alex Padilla says Harris and Walz will 바카라 게임 웹사이트�defend the dream바카라 게임 웹사이트�

California Sen. Alex Padilla, who was sworn in to fill Kamala Harris바카라 게임 웹사이트� Senate seat in 2021 after she became vice president, talked about how both he and Harris are a product of the American dream, coming from immigrant households and ascending to the highest levels of public office.

바카라 게임 웹사이트�My question to you is this: This November, who is ready to defend the dream?바카라 게임 웹사이트� Padilla asked convention goers. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Tim Walz is ready to defend the dream. Kamala Harris is ready to defend the dream.바카라 게임 웹사이트�

Teacher union leaders back the Harris-Walz ticket

No surprise that teachers바카라 게임 웹사이트� unions are backing the Harris-Walz ticket 바카라 게임 웹사이트� the vice presidential candidate is a former social studies teacher himself. Becky Pringle, president of the National Education Association, tried to school delegates on Republican plans such as eliminating the Department of Education.

바카라 게임 웹사이트�We are coming together to say not on our watch,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Pringle said.

Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, went a bit deeper by talking about the idea of the social contract, a concept that originated with the French philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau. She said teachers know that actions are often more important than words.

바카라 게임 웹사이트�My students taught me you바카라 게임 웹사이트�ve got to walk the walk,바카라 게임 웹사이트� she said.

Female delegates are wearing white to honor women바카라 게임 웹사이트�s suffrage on the night of Harris바카라 게임 웹사이트� speech

If you think you바카라 게임 웹사이트�re seeing a lot of women wearing white tonight, you don바카라 게임 웹사이트�t need to adjust your television set.

There appeared to be a coordinated effort among female delegates and Democratic supporters as they arrived at the United Center on Thursday afternoon, with security lines and convention floor seats filling up with women clad in white suits, dresses and other attire.

When Harris takes the stage to accept the Democratic presidential nomination 바카라 게임 웹사이트� becoming the first Black woman, and only the second woman overall, to do so 바카라 게임 웹사이트� she will be looking out across a sea filled with the color of women바카라 게임 웹사이트�s suffrage, the movement that culminated with American women securing the right to vote in 1920.

The homage is a couture callback to other momentous political events in which women wearing white have played a role, particularly for other glass ceiling moments.

Video highlights Harris바카라 게임 웹사이트� life, professional achievements

A video, which is narrated by actor Morgan Freeman, played at the DNC. It focused on Harris바카라 게임 웹사이트� life, from childhood through the current day.
The video featured childhood friends, as well as family members and people Harris has worked with in her many roles over the years. Harris, prior to becoming President Joe Biden바카라 게임 웹사이트�s vice president, was a U.S. Senator, California바카라 게임 웹사이트�s attorney general, and a prosecutor before that.

The final night of the DNC is underway

Convention chairwoman Minyon Moore and Rep. Veronica Escobar, a Texas Democrat, took the stage to welcome the delegates for the last session.

Thursday night바카라 게임 웹사이트�s program is packed with members of Congress and other Democratic leaders and will conclude with Vice President Harris formally accepting her party바카라 게임 웹사이트�s nomination.

The arena is also buzzing about the possibility of a secret special guest making an appearance. But, so far at least, the secret is holding and who the guest might be 바카라 게임 웹사이트� if it바카라 게임 웹사이트�s actually anyone at all 바카라 게임 웹사이트� remains a mystery.
