“I promise to be everyone’s president”

The Vice President of the United States, Kamala Harrisofficially accepted the Democratic Party’s nomination for the White House on Thursday, becoming the first African-American woman and the first person of Asian descent to run for president, and has pledged to be “the president of all Americans.”

“On behalf of the people, on behalf of all Americans, regardless of race, gender, or what language their grandmother speaks, and on behalf of everyone who has ever taken their own uncertain journey, on behalf of Americans like the people I grew up with, who work hard, chase their dreams, and care for each other, on behalf of all those whose history could only be written in the greatest country on Earth, I accept his candidacy for President of the United States” he explained.

In this sense, the presidential candidate has maintained that throughout “her entire” career she has had “only” “one customer: the people.”With these elections, our country has a precious and fleeting opportunity to leave behind the cynicism and divisive strife of the past, an opportunity to chart a new path forward. Not as members of a party, but as Americans,” he said.

“Always trust that I will put country before party and self, that I will hold sacred the founding principles of America, from the rule of law to free and fair elections to the peaceful exercise of power. I will be a president who unites us around our highest aspirations,” he said.

Thus he has assured that it is a president ‘who leads and listens, who is realistic, practical and has common senseand always fighting for the American people.’ ‘From the courts to the White House, that’s been my life’s work,’ he said, adding that as a prosecutor he dealt with “the big banks” and the cartels that trade and “put safety at risk” and “defended” veterans, students and workers.

After defending his fitness for the job, he referred to his rival, former President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, whom he considered an “unserious man,” but warned that “the consequences of putting him back in the White House are extremely serious. “Take into account not only the chaos of your administration, but the seriousness of this past election,” he said, following the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.

“Trump tried to throw your votes away. When that didn’t work, he sent an armed mob to the Capitol, where they attacked law enforcement. When politicians in his own party pleaded with him to call off the mob and send help, he did the opposite. He fanned the flames of a series of different crimes,” he recalled, before listing the crimes for which the tycoon is being tried.

Support for Ukraine and Israel

In foreign policy, he has assured his support for Ukraine and Israel, claiming that “It’s time” for a ceasefire This also includes the release of the hostages, while he has reiterated his support for the kidnapping ‘Israel’s right to defend itself’ because Israelis “must not face the horrors that the Hamas terrorist organization unleashed on October 7.” “But what has happened in Gaza over the past 10 months is devastating. Too many lives have been lost,” he said. “The level of suffering is heartbreaking,” he added.

Moreover, he has maintained that he will “never” hesitate to “take whatever action is necessary to defend” the United States from Iran and “Iranian-backed terrorists,” referring to the pro-Iranian militias, who “encourage Trump” because “they know he is easily manipulated with flattery and favors. ‘They know Trump will not hold autocrats accountable, because he wants to be an autocrat himself,’ he concluded.

Harris, who has given a life presentation that highlights her parents’ origins and her middle-class past, expressed gratitude to President Joe Biden, who has dropped out of the race after pressure due to his advanced age. “When I think about the path we’ve traveled together, Joe, I’m filled with gratitude. Your career has been extraordinary, as history will show. Your character is inspiring,” he said.
