Kamala Harris makes her pitch to the American people on the final day of the Democratic National Convention. These were the big moments

ABC  

On a night that mixed personal stories from her loved ones with endorsements from celebrities, Kamala Harris has officially accepted the nomination to be the Democratic presidential challenger to run against Donald Trump. Harris warns of a 'Donald Trump with no guardrails' In attacking Trump, Harris steered clear of the "weird" attack line that Democrats have favoured since her running mate, Tim Walz, started trotting it out in media interviews. "Just imagine Donald Trump with no guardrails and how he would use the immense powers of the presidency of the United States," Harris said. And she said dictators like North Korea's Kim Jong-un were "rooting for Trump".
