Harris' family, running mate watch her speak
Second gentleman Doug Emhoff, seated with his children and Harris' sister Maya, was seen wiping his eyes after Harris walked out to the lectern. He was the first person to receive a shout-out from the vice president, who remarked on their 10th wedding anniversary.
Her running mate, Tim Walz, was also looking on with emotion as she took the stage.
