Kamala Harris opens rally for new President-elect Biden
Kamala Harris took the stage in Wilmington, Delaware, with a message from the late lion of the Democratic Party.
"Congressman John Lewis before his passing wrote 'Democracy is not a state, it is an act.' And what he meant was that America's democracy is not guaranteed," she said. "It is only as strong as our willingness to fight for it."
Harris did not mention current President Donald Trump, but said the democracy itself was on the ballot, as huge signs reading "The People Have Chosen Empathy."
"And when our very democracy was on the ballot in this election with the very soul of America at stake and the world watching, you ushered in a new day for America," she continued.

Harris took to the stage at 8:30 p.m. and thanked poll workers for counting votes, as well as organizers in the field. She also thanked her husband, Doug, and Joe Biden for choosing her as his running mate.
She left her biggest thanks for her mother, who came from India and followed the American dream.
