During her acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention, Vice President Kamala Harris shared a personal story about her best friend, Wanda, who was being sexually abused by her stepfather in high school. This experience inspired Harris to become a prosecutor in order to protect people like Wanda and ensure everyone has the right to safety, dignity, and justice. Wanda attended parts of the convention and expressed her emotions about witnessing history with her friend. She praised Harris for rescuing her and supporting her education, highlighting Harris’ protective instincts and commitment to fighting for the American people. As Harris formally accepted the Democratic nomination for president, she emphasized her working class upbringing, her career as a prosecutor, and her determination to fight for the future. In her speech, Harris criticized opponent Donald Trump as an “unserious man” and warned about the serious consequences of another Trump administration, while calling on Americans to allow her to fight for them as she did for the people of California. Harris reflected on the challenges she faced during her career, emphasizing the importance of perseverance and the belief that the future is always worth fighting for.
