Vice President Kamala Harris made history on Tuesday by symbolically accepting the Democratic party's presidential nomination. This momentous occasion took place during the Democratic National Convention, where delegates participated in a ceremonial roll call.
Harris, along with her running mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, addressed the audience remotely from Wisconsin. They were holding a rally in Wisconsin while the DNC proceedings continued in Chicago. Earlier this month, Harris officially became the party's nominee for president after securing a majority of votes through a virtual roll call.
Notably, Harris is the first woman of color to be nominated as the presidential candidate of a major American political party. The final roll call votes were cast by California and Minnesota, the respective home states of Harris and Walz.
This historic moment underscores the progress and diversity within the Democratic party. Harris's nomination represents a significant milestone in American politics, breaking barriers and paving the way for future generations of leaders.
