Vice President Kamala Harris‘s prime-time acceptance of the 2024 Democratic presidential nomination will be about her and former President Donald Trump.
Harris is expected to share her story as the daughter of Jamaican and Indian immigrants who became San Francisco district attorney, California attorney general, a U.S. senator, and President Joe Biden‘s vice president during the fourth and final night of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, according to a Harris campaign source granted anonymity to discuss speech preparations.
With the economy poised to be the top issue this election, Harris will underscore on Thursday how she was raised by her Indian-Hindu mother Shyamala in a middle-class neighborhood in Oakland, California. Already this week at the United Center, Harris’ part-time job at McDonalds has been cited as evidence the vice president understands the challenges Americans are currently encountering after decades-high consumer prices.
