accepted the nomination for vice president on Wednesday night in an empty convention hall, a stark image of politics during the coronavirus pandemic.
Harris is the first Black woman and the first Asian American candidate on a national ticket. She began her speech with a nod to the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote, and to the additional decades of struggle for the enfranchisement of Black women. “She taught us to be conscious and compassionate about the struggles of all people,” Harris said. “To believe public service is a noble cause and the fight for justice is a shared responsibility.”
In describing her career trajectory as a lawyer, district attorney, California attorney general and U.S. Senator, Harris emphasized her credentials in fighting for justice. “I know a predator when I see one,” she said.
