She will face off against Republican candidate Donald Trump in the November elections. Harris has made history as the first woman of Indian and African heritage to run on a major party's ticket.
"On behalf of the people, on behalf of every American, regardless of party, race, gender or the language your 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 the United States," she received a thunderous applause from the audience as she spoke. Harris also expressed her gratitude to President Joe Biden, her husband Doug Emhoff, and her running mate Tim Walz.
