Kamala Harris Accepts Democratic VP Nomination, Accuse Trump Of Turning “Tragedies Into Political Weapon”

Kamala Harris made history in America on Wednesday when she accepted the Democratic nomination for vice president, while joining Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton to condemn President Donald Trump’s profound “failure” as a leader.

Harris, will become the  first black woman on a major party’s White House ticket, and she accused Trump of turning “our tragedies into political weapons.” And she urged Americans to vote for Joe Biden, saying he is “a president who will bring all of us together.”

In her acceptance speech she said, “Donald Trump’s failure of leadership has cost lives and livelihoods, We’re at an inflection point.”

Joe Biden, is also due to give his own acceptance speech on Thursday before the election showdown with Trump on November 3rd.

Shortly before Harris spoke, America’s first black president, Barack Obama, delivered his own condemnation of Trump and appeal for Biden’s election.

Obama in his words said that on handing over the White House to Trump in 2017, he thought the Republican “might show some interest in taking the job seriously; that he might come to feel the weight of the office and discover some reverence for the democracy that had been placed in his care, But he never did”.

He added, “As a result, Trump has left America’s worst impulses unleashed, our proud reputation around the world badly diminished, and our democratic institutions threatened like never before”.
