US Vice President Kamala Harris is addressing the American public on the final night of the National Democratic Convention (DNC) in Chicago on Thursday. In her anticipated keynote speech, Harris praised her outgoing boss, President Joe Biden, as she formally accepted her party's nomination for the upcoming presidential race.
Harris' address will follow the nomination of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate. Walz introduced himself to the nation on Wednesday, highlighting his readiness to support Harris in the bid for the White House.
In her keynote address, Kamala Harris shared her personal story. During speech, Harris articulated her vision for America's future, contrasting it with what her campaign characterises as former President Donald Trump's "dark, conservative" vision for a second term in the Oval Office.
The final day of the convention featured addresses from several prominent Democratic figures, including Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper, civil rights leader Al Sharpton, and Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers.
The theme for the fourth and final day of the DNC is "For Our Future".
The convention's concluding night promises to set the stage for the upcoming election, with Harris and her allies aiming to rally support and energise voters ahead of the November election.
