The vice presidential candidates will debate on October 1
Harris' running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, and Trump's running mate, Senator J.D. Vance, have agreed to debate on October 1.
In her nomination acceptance speech, Harris said, "America, let us show each other and the world who we are and what we stand for: Freedom, opportunity, compassion, dignity, fairness and endless possibilities. We are the heirs to the greatest democracy in the history of the world. And on behalf of our children and our grandchildren and all those who sacrificed so dearly for our freedom and liberty, we must be worthy of this moment."
In his own acceptance speech, former President Trump said, "The discord and division in our society must be healed. We must heal it quickly. As Americans, we are bound together by a single fate and a shared destiny. We rise together. Or we fall apart."
