By Nikhila Natarajan New York, Nov 8 : Kamala Harris, America’s Vice President-elect gave thanks to the country’s voters, poll officials, party workers and family in her first prepared remarks after her ticket led by Joe Biden won the White House.
“Every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities,” Harris said to wild cheers.
Harris’ mother, a central theme in her speeches, came in for special mention.
“When she came here from India at the age of 19. She may not have quite imagined this moment. But she believed so deeply in America, where a moment like this is possible. And so I’m thinking about her.” Dressed in a luminous peach and white pant suit with satin tones, Harris beamed as she walked on stage to the sounds of her favourite hip hop music.
Kamala Harris arrived to deliver her victory speech in what’s now America’s most famous parking lot in Wilmington, Delaware, in a motorcade flashing red and blue lights, the first sign that the earth has shifted from beneath the Donald Trump-Mike Pence White House.
