“I Am Overwhelmed With Happiness” – Kamala Harris Wows Virginians With Forceful Keynote Outlining A New Way Forward 

Chicago — Last night the final day of the Democratic National Convention ended with Vice President Kamala Harris delivering keynote remarks, making a forceful case to the American people that she is the fighter we need to lead our country forward.

Kamala Harris recounted her upbringing as a girl raised by a working mother in a middle-class neighborhood, where she learned values that shaped her life’s work of fighting for the people – from the courthouse to the White House. She outlined a New Way Forward – her optimistic agenda that provides economic opportunity and protects fundamental freedoms for all Americans, no matter their party – a stark contrast with the dangers posed by Donald Trump’s Project 2025 agenda that would rip away people’s freedoms and increase the cost of living.

This message resonated with people across the country, including Virginians, where energy and enthusiasm has reached incredible levels.

From a Richmond watch party, via WTVR:

“I am overwhelmed with happiness, but also just so excited to see a woman as a candidate, and a woman of color, and it’s just exciting.”

Wall Street Journal: “Kamala Harris Defines the Democrats’ New Normal”

“Rep. Abigail Spanberger of Virginia said her state had seen a 500% increase in volunteer sign-ups overnight.”
