the the, this is dw news live from berlin, cobbler harris takes the stage at the democratic national convention. us vice president tells her story and makes her case for the nation's highest office. it's being called the most important speech of her life. the hello and welcome to our show, obviously been busily in berlin. complet harris has accepted the democratic parties . nomination for president of the united states. harris is still addressing at this moment. thousands of delegates attending the final night of a 4 day convention in chicago. she's been scratching on her policy agenda and her

vision for the future. should she become the next us president harris has promised, promised that if elected, she would quote, the, the president, for all americans to me, as we said, she's still speaking. let's have a brief listen to her speech right now. on behalf of americans like the people, i grew up with people who work hard chase their dreams and look out for one another. on behalf of everyone whose story could only be written in the greatest nation on earth. i accept your nomination. the apologies that was a sound by from earlier we want to talk now to our poor comic launch. but what we've heard so far, at clinic we had expectations. this would be obviously

a very important speech for her. the biggest of her career. what have we heard so far? what is kind of harris laying out right now for voters for undecided voters, for example. so harms began by speaking a loss actually about her childhood hunter. background. she put, shoot emphasis on her working fast route on her strength of her family, the strength of the problems with her family, with their mother in particular, and her father as well. and that what if also found very interesting during the speech that she really emphasized how she had been taught to be a fearless child by her family. she she said in, in the speech that her father told her never to fear anything. and so this was part of the ground work if we shall say of her presenting herself to the american people . just remember, she has been the vice president of course, in the united states for 4 years now. but she's only being the democratic nominee

for just over 4 weeks. actually, most americans don't really know her that well might surprise people outside of the united states. but inside you have, she's relatively new person and they, they so according to, to things like their family background, a huge importance. right. let's actually have a listen in to couple of harris the speech right now. she's still speaking of the 21st century and that we drank, i'm not advocate. our global leadership. trump, on the other hand, threatened to a band and nato. he encourage who to invade. our allies said rush to the quote, do whatever the hell they want. 5 days before russia attacked ukraine, i met with president zalinski to warn him about russia's plan to one day. i helped mobilize a global response over 50 countries to defend against who is

a dresser. as president, i will stand with you brain and the right. we're listening in there to couple of harrison's accepting speech at the democratic national convention. we want to go back to our porter here in the studio apartment walsh cormick. um, you know, we talked about what the deal couple of harris had, how she began to speech, really talking about her biography, this kind of iron need for someone who's been in office for 4 years. she's now having to really introduce herself to voters. another key part of this is trump and talking about her opponent. what kind of balance is that for the speech? how important is it to also introduced yourself, but also to warn about trump, especially as, as she looked at independent voters. yeah, we've seen over the last few weeks since she's been bidding for the democratic nomination. that, of course, um,

part of her campaign strategy has been to attack donald trump, to remind vultures of events, such as january 6th, the attack on congress to remind vultures of his policies towards you credit on some, some of those policies during the coven demik as well and this is the us extremely important for her that she keeps reminding americans of the record of the former president. because you see that as the end of course, by a weakness, by a to many, many americans. now of course, by support has donald trump, but to keep pushing, this is part a huge part of her strategy. how difficult is it for her to lay out her own vision as someone who has part of the incumbent administration? how does she tires of to button and, and distance or so from buttons? that's right. that's that, that is something that could potentially be very difficult for her going forward. i think she's still enjoying kind of a honeymoon period. of course, since she did,

it's for the democratic nomination now has us, has accepted us. and i think what she's doing now is she's trying to separate herself from jo bite and onto the economic policy front. she's been talking a lot about bringing spoilt small businesses and labor unions together with the goal of reducing costs. of course, that's a mess of issue, not just, not just in the united states, but in many, many countries of the high cost of living. and she's trying to drive this message forward with a view of different scenarios of from joe by and that she will strive for the middle class people by bringing down costs, making homes more affordable. we've seen in polls that many voters, surprisingly large amounts of voters and they don't know what kind of a hairs stands for. will this speech from what we've heard so far? will it help fill in that gap? i think it will. we, we don't know the figures you have to have how many viewers are actually watching this? but i was talking to colleagues in the news room just a few minutes ago. we were trying to find out who was watching this online. and we

saw the 240000 people, for example, were watching the, the live stream from the democratic party online. but that's a sizable number. it's not in the millions, and i know that, but it's quite a chunk of people. i mean, you can guess those who are people at home are watching this on their screens. screens. there's going to be a lot of them as well. so this is a mess of opportunity for her to present south to the american public. and we were saying this we were talking of course before, before then use pro much as you said, as in the introduction, this is a crucial known for her. it's a mess of speech for her, and this is her moment to, to present yourself now. it's entire 4 days. we're wrapping up 4 days of the convention. amazing when you consider how this began, not that long ago with barton pulling himself out of this race. this could have been a device of moment what we've seen over the 4 days is a very 1st attempt to create unity to show unity. how would you assess what you've seen over the past 4 days? yeah, it's um, this began 4 weeks and 2 days ago. that's when joe biden said he was not going to

stand for re election. and he basically immediately endorsed carmella harris and that we've seen ever since then the democratic party trying to remain as united as possible. and no one else through their house in the ring for the nomination of the time. and the last 4 days of being composed as a kind of a party, almost for the, for people who are attending the convention in chicago. there's been lots of speeches this the, the major can call them stars almost at the democratic being turned in on a rock, obama. michelle obama, extensions of the making speeches. they're driving this honeymoon period forward. driving the feeling that the democrats are on a roll effectively. and it looks for the moment, at least we're still in this one, even period is if that's working. all right, that's cormick walsh, w porter here in studio. breaking down what we're hearing from pamela harris as she addresses the democratic national convention in chicago. cormick,
