The Democratic Party in the US has symbolically confirmed Kamala Harris as their presidential candidate during their convention in Chicago. In a video message, Harris thanked the delegates for their nomination and spoke about the importance of the upcoming election.

The convention also featured speeches from former President Barack Obama, who emphasized the stakes of the election, and Harris' husband, Doug Emhoff, who spoke about his personal connection to Harris. Other speakers included Stephanie Grisham, former spokesperson for President Donald Trump, who warned about the lack of empathy and ethics in the Republican candidate.

The convention showcased a diverse coalition of voters aiming to defeat Trump, including young voters, minorities, and anti-Trump Republicans. Harris emphasized that the victory against Trump would not be easy and highlighted the importance of upholding the US Constitution.

The convention will continue until Thursday and will feature more speeches from prominent Democrats.
