Vice President Kamala Harris has said that she is excited to accept the Democratic Party candidacy formally. She also advocated against a second Donald Trump administration.
The VP, who was recently backed by President Joe Biden, who resigned from the 2024 presidential contest, made the announcement immediately after gaining enough Democratic delegates to become her party’s nominee.
“Tonight, I am proud to have secured the broad support needed to become our party’s nominee, and as a daughter of California, I am proud that my home state’s delegation helped put our campaign over the top,” Harris said, as quoted by the Guardian.
“Donald Trump wants to take our country back to a time before many of us had full freedoms and equal rights.
“I believe in a future that strengthens our democracy, protects reproductive freedom, and ensures every person has the opportunity to not just get by, but to get ahead.”
It took 32 hours from Biden’s announcement that he would step aside to secure support from enough delegates.
