DNC FINAL DAY SUPER FAST RECAP
The DNC concluded Thursday with Vice President Kamala Harris capping weeks of a whirlwind run for her party’s nomination with her acceptance speech.
Thursday’s program had a markedly different feel from the first three days. Instead of featuring a series of high-profile speakers leading up to the main event, the convention opted for a slow-building contrast, going from a program of darkness into the light of Harris’s speech.
The first few hours were heavy, with multiple speakers addressing ugly recent moments in America’s history. There were gun-violence survivors, including former congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) and Abbey Clements, a former teacher at Sandy Hook Elementary, scene of a massacre of schoolchildren in 2012. There were members of the “Central Park Five” — more recently known as the “Exonerated Five” — whom Trump spotlighted while calling for New York to institute the death penalty. There was Anya Cook, who nearly died after being denied care after Florida instituted an abortion ban. And there was the family of Brian D. Sicknick, a police officer who died after the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
On Thursday, the convention made a concerted effort to align itself with a muscular vision for the military, foreign policy and law enforcement — in a way that past conventions wouldn’t have.
