9 things to expect from Kamala Harris’ big convention speech – Firstpost

Vice President Kamala Harris will deliver the most important speech of her political life on the fourth day of the Democratic National Convention when she accepts the party’s nomination for president, a month after the party forced President Joe Biden to drop out of the race.

Harris’ own presidential ambitions were always clear, but were undermined by her shaky 2020 campaign and rocky tenure as vice president. Since rising to the top of the ballot, she has tightened the race against Republican Donald Trump.

Her powerful campaign speeches sparked great enthusiasm among voters. If Harris wins on November 5, she will be the first black South Asian woman elected president.

Here’s what we can expect from Kamala Harris’ historic speech:

• According to her aides, Harris will outline her plans to combat rising costs and strengthen personal freedoms, including abortion rights.

• She will also likely offer harsh criticism of former President Donald Trump.

• Aides say she will discuss her plans to cut taxes for most Americans, increase housing supply and stop grocers from gouging prices.

• She will also likely propose raising the corporate tax rate from 21% to 28%

• The speech will contain elements of foreign policy

• It will also highlight stories of women affected by abortion bans and other restrictions on reproductive rights.

• The speech will also include a nod to traditional allies such as unions and will rely on Republican votes to persuade conservative voters to turn their backs on Trump.

• The Vice President may also comment on the extension of the child tax allowance

• She wants to talk about her life as the daughter of a Jamaican father and an Indian mother_With contributions from agencies_
