What happened at the convention last night?
Harris introduced herself to the nation Wednesday night, leaning into her place in history and noting that her nomination was "a testament to the dedication of generations before me."
The California senator ran unsuccessfully for the Democratic presidential nomination last year, but much of the nation was introduced to her personal story for the first time on Wednesday. She is the daughter of immigrants -- an Indian mother and Jamaican father -- and a graduate of a historically Black university.
Former President Barack Obama delivered his speech from Philadelphia, where the Constitution was written, to warn America's democracy was under grave threat. Obama unleashed an unprecedented rebuke of President Donald Trump, who stepped onto the national political scene advancing the racist birther conspiracy theory aimed at undermining Obama's presidency.
"I did hope, for the sake of our country, that Donald Trump might show some interest in taking the job seriously; that he might come to feel the weight of the office and discover some reverence for the democracy that had been placed in his care," Obama said. "But he never did."
2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton also spoke, warning against November becoming a "woulda, coulda, shoulda" election and reminded people that Biden and Harris could win the popular vote and lose the election, just like she did.
