At just past 10:30 Thursday night, the Democratic National Convention erupted into applause. Kamala Harris, the current vice president of the United States and Democratic Party nominee for president, was walking toward the stage — and as she made it to the podium, Harris laughed as she tried to calm the crowd.
“Let’s get to business,” she said, as cheers spilled from the convention hall. “Let’s get to business.”
For weeks, that’s exactly what many had been waiting for. Ever since President Joe Biden stepped down from the race, questions have been swirling about what a Harris presidency could mean for U.S. foreign affairs — and on the last night of the Democratic National Convention, the nominee finally began to provide some answers.
