»Diese Wahl ist nicht nur die wichtigste unseres Lebens, sie ist eine der wichtigsten in der Geschichte unseres Landes«

Rede von US-Präsidentschaftskandidatin Kamala Harris, 22.8.2024 (eng. Original)

Every day in the courtroom, I stood proudly before a judge and said five words: “Kamala Harris, for the People.” And to be clear: My entire career, I have only had one client. The People. And so, on behalf of The People, On behalf of every American. Regardless of party. Race. Gender. Or the language your grandmother speaks. On behalf of my mother and everyone who has ever set out on their own unlikely journey. On behalf of Americans like the people I grew up with. People who work hard. Chase their dreams. And look out for one another.

On behalf of everyone whose story could only be written in the greatest nation on Earth. I accept your nomination for President of the United States of America.

And I want you to know: I promise to be a President for all Americans.

With this election, our nation has a precious, fleeting opportunity to move past the bitterness, cynicism, and divisive battles of the past. A chance to chart a New Way Forward.
