The fourth and final night of the Democratic National Convention provided insight into the party’s plans and views for the future and presented a united front in their desire to rally behind the vice-president, Kamala Harris. Harris, a beacon of hope for many in the Democratic Party, delivered a stirring speech that embodied patriotic themes and painted the opposing former president, Donald Trump, as being in contrast with fundamental American values.
With the poise of a skilled prosecutor, Harris confronted her Republican adversary, singling out Trump’s legal issues and the societal turmoil that has erupted due to the strict implementation of state-level abortion laws. She cautioned against a potential return to the existential disarray that encapsulated Trump’s tenure. Her speech was a balance of sharp criticisms against her political opposition and a detailed account of her policy positions, particularly on foreign policy. Harris’s stance was framed as a practical, common-sense response to Trump’s efforts to brand her as excessively liberal.
Harris attempted to appease the American public by offering the possibility of a more predictable and calm era, distinct from the chaotic Trump years. She steered the conversation towards freedom and the concept of protecting individual rights from unwarranted government interference. The underlying theme of her address was a hopeful disconnection from the hostility and divisive politics that have charred the landscape of American politics in the recent past.
The vice president also delved deeply into her personal life, providing an understanding of her journey through her upbringing, shaped by her parents who were both immigrants and educators. She highlighted the instrumental role her mother played in her life, her father’s encouragement, and the experiences that led her to embrace the career path she’s on.
The convention witnessed several of Harris’s former colleagues lending support to her candidacy, validating her work ethic, and detailing her impressive contributions to their shared professional experiences, thus reinforcing her credentials.
The convention also underscored Harris’s stance on gun control. Personal stories from victims of gun violence were shared which underscored the administration’s determination to take up this issue. Also, individuals who had their lives fundamentally altered by gun violence related their experiences much akin to the people’s stories about abortion shared at the convention.
The convention spotlighted instances of Trump’s long-standing record of exploiting racial tensions for political gains. The point was emphasized by bringing on stage four of the five individuals wrongly convicted in the infamous Central Park Five case from 1989.
In a controversial move, individuals representing the ‘Incommitted National Movement’, protesting against the Biden administration’s handling of the Israel and Gaza conflict, were denied a slot at the convention.
The convention saw appearances by various celebrities, adding a layer of glamour to the event. However, speculation about an anticipated performance by Beyoncé turned out to be unfounded. Despite this, there was no lack of musical performances and celebrity endorsements.
Overall, the Democratic National Convention’s final night was a diverse and vibrant event characterized by compelling stories, lively debates, and a united stand for progressive political change.
