(BBC News) In a headline speech at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Kamala Harris focused on unity and working-class aspiration, pledging to lead “for all Americans” and create an “opportunity economy”.
She leaned heavily on protecting the right to abortion — an issue that has helped motivate Democratic voters in recent elections.
Demonstrations have been taking place outside the convention in opposition to US support of Israel’s war in Gaza.
Meanwhile, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has been criticizing the Harris speech, writing on social media: “Why didn’t she do something about the things of which she complains?”
