Harris on her mom: “She taught Maya and me a lesson that Michelle mentioned the other night. She taught us to never complain about injustice, but do something about it. Do something about it. And she also taught us: Never do anything half-assed.” https://t.co/yKuides37K

Harris: In many ways Donald Trump is an unserious man, but the consequences of putting Donald Trump back in the White House are extremely serious…he tried to throw away your votes. When he failed, he sent an armed mob to the Capitol where they assaulted law enforcement officers https://t.co/muKQlUGMfe

Harris: “Donald Trump hand-picked members of SCOTUS to take away reproductive freedom, and now he brags about it … simply put, they are out of their minds. And one must ask: Why exactly is it that they don’t trust women? Well we trust women.” https://t.co/YubawoFvLO

What an inspiring and historic night — a true representation of what it means to be an American. @KamalaHarris delivered an impassioned and powerful speech tonight that showed the country and the world that she is ready to lead us forward.
She did her part with grace, strength, and determination. And now, it’s up to us, regardless of how we identify politically, to do the same. Each of us must do what we know in our hearts is right.
We must vote like our lives depend on it. We must rally our neighbors and communities. And we must start now. Don’t wait. We can’t let this momentum die down.
Because there is only one choice for in this election — and that is the next President of the United States, @KamalaHarris!

Kamala didn’t need Beyonce or Taylor.
She was the star tonight. She was like Muhammad Ali with that speech. She just kept throwing punches. Perfect pace. Perfect pitch. And even perfect personality.
And she will be our pragmatic President. https://t.co/AKWj2pxtQd

Trump has taken Republicans so far off the deep end as to leave the American mainstream wide open
Harris and Democrats spent this effective convention claiming it – on broadly-shared values, on decency, on love of country
