Harris calls on Americans to ‘write the next great chapter’

Vice President Harris accepted her party’s presidential nomination on Thursday night with a speech that asked voters to write “the next great chapter” of American history.

That language pointed to Harris’s extraordinary recent history; she became the nominee after President Biden a month ago decided to not run for reelection and endorsed her.

It also hinted at the history she would make, if she defeats former President Trump this fall, by becoming the first woman to hold the nation’s highest office.
