Harris accepts nomination, wants to “chart a new way forward”

With those words, Vice President Kamala Harris became the first Black woman to be a presidential nominee. After sharing her personal and professional background, she said this election offers the country a “precious opportunity to move past the bitterness, cynicism, and divisive battles of the past and chart a new way forward.” Harris described Donald Trump as an “unserious man,” but warned the consequences of returning him to office are serious.
