Kamala Harris entered the Democratic National Convention on strong footing, slightly ahead in the race, but faced significant challenges, particularly with undecided voters who were either unfamiliar with her or concerned she was too liberal. In her speech, Harris directly addressed these concerns, presenting herself as a disciplined, moderate candidate with a focus on common sense and unity.
Harris shared her personal journey, growing up as the child of strict immigrant parents in a working-class neighborhood, and explained how witnessing a friend’s experience with sexual abuse inspired her to become a prosecutor. She highlighted her career fighting big banks, drug cartels, and human traffickers, emphasizing her commitment to protecting all Americans, regardless of political affiliation.
Throughout her speech, Harris positioned herself as the pragmatic, realistic candidate in the race, with a vision for an “opportunity economy” that allows everyone to compete and succeed. She also made clear her intention to represent all Americans, contrasting her inclusive approach with former President Trump’s partisan tactics.
Harris also addressed key issues such as protecting abortion rights and supporting veterans, while critiquing Trump’s controversial policies, including his tariffs and proposed elimination of the Department of Education. Her approach to foreign affairs, particularly her stance on the ongoing conflict in Gaza, aimed to reassure voters of her capabilities as a commander-in-chief, while offering a tone of change and hope.
The convention also saw Democrats, including Harris, reclaim traditionally conservative values like common sense and patriotism, showcasing themselves as champions of veterans and blue-collar workers. Harris’s speech, delivered with confidence and clarity, solidified her as a serious contender who is in control of her message and determined to win.
Despite the momentum Harris has gained, the race remains close. Democrats left the convention energized, but cautious, aware of the hard work still ahead to secure victory in the November election.
Aah spare me the propaganda. She’s a clown.
She loses my vote with her stand on NATO’s expansionist worldview and her wishy-washy on the Israel-Gaza conflict.
Democrats and Republicans….you just have to choose whether you want to be eaten by a Crocodile or Lion….they’re all the same and fighting for their own pockets…
This is nice because Zambia will soon be known as the country which President Kamala visited to see her relatives in 2023. This just before HH became the first African President to shake King Charles’s hand! We have even named the Indian township she visited after her real name: Kamwala. Tuli bakali
Kikikikikiki!
She is the mother of all liberals. You can’t come to your conclusion based on one speech. A week before she was crowned as a chief of the DNC,she publicly outlined her policy of price control.That is not a sign of someone who is a moderate but someone who is a socialist. You will do if you stick to Zambian politics
