US Senator Kamala Harris accepted the Democratic Party nomination for vice president on Wednesday, imploring Americans to elect Joe Biden in November and accusing President Donald Trump of failed leadership that had cost lives and livelihoods during a pandemic, Reuters reported.

She made history as the first Black woman and Asian-American on a major US presidential ticket.

The US vice presidential candidate addressed millions of women, young Americans and voters, speaking from an events center in Biden’s hometown of Wilmington, Delaware.
