Harris symbolically accepts party’s presidential nomination from Wisconsin

Milwaukee/Chicago – In a video appearance from Wisconsin, Vice President Kamala Harris symbolically accepted the party’s presidential nomination on Tuesday after delegates at the Democratic National Convention held a ceremonial roll call.

“We are so honored to be your nominees,” Harris said. “This is a people-powered campaign and together we will chart a new way forward.”

The vice president already became the party’s official nominee for president earlier this month after receiving a majority of votes via a virtual roll call.
