Vice President Kamala Harris is gearing up for her acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention with three main objectives in mind, as outlined by a campaign official.

Firstly, Harris aims to share her personal story and political record with the American people. This includes highlighting her middle-class upbringing and how it influenced her decision to pursue a career in law to protect others.

Secondly, the Vice President plans to contrast her vision for the country with that of former President Donald Trump. She will specifically address the dangers she sees in Trump's 'Project 2025' agenda, which she believes threatens people's freedoms and would set the country back.

Leading up to the speech, Harris has been focused on final preparations, with reports indicating that she spent time practicing her delivery at Howard University in Washington. The campaign official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, highlighted the significance of this speech as a pivotal moment in Harris' political career.

As the Vice President takes the stage on the final night of the convention, she will aim to connect with voters on a personal level, sharing her values and aspirations for the future of the nation. By addressing the stark differences between her approach and that of Trump, Harris hopes to make a compelling case for her candidacy and rally support for the Democratic ticket.
