Key takeaways from the fourth night of the Democratic National Convention

Vice President Kamala Harris has accepted the Democratic nomination at the fourth and final night of the convention.

Less than five weeks ago, she was the running mate, second tier on the Democratic presidential ticket.

But on Thursday night, United States Vice President Kamala Harris took centre stage at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) to formally accept the party’s nomination for the presidency.

“We were underestimated at practically every turn. But we never gave up. Because the future is always worth fighting for. And that’s the fight we are in right now: a fight for America’s future,” said Harris.

As the party nominee, Harris was the keynote speaker on the final night of the four-day convention, held in Chicago, Illinois.
