Obama says US ready for new chapter with 'President Kamala Harris'

The US is ready for a new chapter with "President Kamala Harris,” former President Barack Obama said Tuesday when he took the stage at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago, Illinois, in a show of support for the party’s candidate for the White House, El.kz cites Anadolu.

"America is ready for a new chapter. America’s ready for a better story," he told the crowd.

Describing Harris, he said she “was not born into privilege” and highlighted her history as a prosecutor going after big banks and child sex abusers.

Obama promised Democrats that Harris will be “focused” on their problems and “work on behalf of every American.”

"Yes, she can!" the crowd chanted as Obama called on Democrats to elect Harris as the next president of the US.

Obama said that Harris's running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, is an “outstanding partner” who is "the kind of person who should be in politics -- somebody who was born in a small town, served his country, taught kids, coached football and took care of his neighbors."
