Trump is an unserious man, consequences of re-electing him will be serious— Kamala

Kamala Harris, US presidential hopeful, aimed jabs at Donald
Trump during her acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention (DNC).

 

Harris’ speech late Thursday night ended four days of a
star-studded and super-charged DNC in Chicago.

 

Centering her speech around patriotism and freedom, the
vice-president reminded Americans of the “chaos and calamity” her Republican
rival oversaw when he was in office.

 

Trump served as the 45th president of the United States from
2017 to 2021.

 

Harris urged citizens to vote in the November 5 polls,
describing the election as one of the most important in US history.

 

“In many ways, Donald Trump is an unserious man. But the
consequences of putting Donald Trump back in the White House are extremely
serious,” the former prosecutor said.

 

“Consider not only the chaos and calamity when he was in
office but also the gravity of what has happened since he lost the last
election.

 

 “Consider his
explicit intent to set free the violent extremists who assaulted those law
enforcement officers at the Capitol. His explicit intent to jail journalists,
political opponents, anyone he sees as the enemy. His explicit intent to deploy
our active-duty military against our own citizens.

 

“Consider the power he will have — especially after the
United States supreme court just ruled that he would be immune from criminal
prosecution. Just imagine Donald Trump with no guardrails.

 

“How he would use the immense powers of the presidency of
the United States not to improve your life, not to strengthen our national
security, but to serve the only client he has ever had — himself.”

 

On security, Harris said she would not hesitate to defend US
interests against Iran and Iran-backed terrorists.

 

 “And I will not cozy
up to tyrants and dictators like Kim Jong Un, who are rooting for Trump because
they know he is easy to manipulate with flattery and favours,” she added.

 

“They know Trump won’t hold autocrats accountable because he
wants to be an autocrat.”

 

The vice-president also touched on the war in Gaza,
reiterating the US stance on Israel’s right to self-defence, while also voicing
support for Palestinian right to dignity and self-determination.

 

HARRIS AHEAD IN THE
POLLS

Harris is the first woman of colour to run for US president
on the platform of a major political party.

 

During her acceptance speech, the Democratic Party candidate
spoke about her Indian mother and Jamaican father — their divorce, her
childhood growing up in a middle class family, and her political journey.

 

The vice-president said she would reform border security and
the immigration system.

 

“I know we can live up to our proud heritage as a nation of
immigrants — and reform our broken immigration system,” she said.

 

 “We can create an
earned pathway to citizenship — and secure our border. America, we must also be
steadfast in advancing our security and our values abroad.”

 

Trump has repeatedly labelled a section of immigrants as
criminals.

 

The former president has also come under fire for repeatedly
attacking Harris’ racial identity and physical attributes, saying world leaders
would see her as a “play toy”.

 

Harris said she would be a president who is “realistic,
practical and has common sense” — a rebuttal of Trump’s attempts to brand her
as too liberal.

 

Recent national polls have put Harris ahead of Trump with a slight
three-point advantage (46 percent-43 percent).
