Harris set her agenda in a rousing speech at the DNC.
The moment that millions around the country have been waiting for took place Thursday at the Democratic National Convention as Vice President Kamala Harris accepted the nomination for the presidency.
Harris took the stage to a roaring standing ovation and soon set her agenda in a rousing speech.
Whether it was immigration, reproductive rights or foreign security, the vice president showcased a sharp contrast in policies to former President Donald Trump.
Harris's speech was preceded by a who's who of leaders from both sides of the aisle who all made the case that she is the best person to be the nation's leader.
The fourth and final night of the DNC is officially underway.
The theme of the night is "For our future" and will feature a keynote address from Vice President Kamala Harris as she accepts the party's nominee for president.
Second gentleman Doug Emhoff said Vice President Kamala Harris remains focused on the issues even "while she is preparing for her big moment tonight."
"She has been in the Oval Office with the president on all of these major issues. She's been in the Situation Room on all these major issues, just with what's happening now," he said Thursday at an event about combating antisemitism hosted by the Jewish Democratic Council of America.
"She's still working on these issues while she is preparing for her big moment tonight. That's what leaders do," he continued.
