'Looking out at everyone tonight, I see the beauty of our great nation,' Harris said. 'People from every corner of our country and every walk of life are here – united by our shared vision for the future of our country.'
'And this November we will come together and declare with one voice as one people – we are moving forward with optimism, hope and faith, so guided by our love of country knowing we have so much more in common than separates us.'
'Let us fight for the ideals we hold dear and let us always remember, when we fight, we win,' she concluded before exiting the stage and taking a place in the arena.
