Kamala Harris' Historic 2024 Presidential Bid: Key Moments from the DNC

CHICAGO – Kamala Devi Harris stepped into the national spotlight Thursday for her stunning presidential bid by reintroducing herself as someone who is "no stranger to unlikely journeys."

The vice president, a child of immigrants, becomes the first Black and South Asian woman nominated by a major party.

Harris framed the 2024 contest as one where voters fed up with Republican nominee Donald Trump have a chance to do something in November.

"With this election, our nation has a precious, fleeting opportunity to move past the bitterness, cynicism and divisive battles of the past," she said.

"A chance to chart a new way forward. Not as members of any one party or faction, but as Americans."
