00:00Our correspondent Wasim Kornei was following Harris's speech from Los Angeles.
00:04He tells us how voters there have been reacting.
00:08This crowd here is fired up at one of the several watch parties held tonight in Los
00:12Angeles.
00:13Watching the final night of the Democratic National Convention, we've seen posters, we've
00:16seen signs, t-shirts with the L.A. and Kamala standing out because of course this is Kamala
00:22Harris's home state of California.
00:24The excitement sky high as she accepts the nomination for President of the United States.
00:30I consider myself a good gentleman of character, right?
00:37And listening to her speak, like she sounds legit wanting to bring this country out of
00:45this despair.
00:46Like, it's very authentic, I really feel that she really means everything she says.
00:52Tonight was an incredible evening where we really got to see what she's made of as a
00:56leader.
00:57And so the fact that people are now not voting in fear, but voting in hope, I would even
01:02say they're voting in joy after this week, is really incredible.
01:06Empowered, invigorated, hopeful, haven't been hopeful in a very long time with the Democratic
01:12Party.
01:13So I'm just very confident that they can win.
01:16Well California will of course be a given in the Harris column come November 5th, but
01:20there will be a lot of hard work to do to convince the independent voters in a number
01:23of swing states, including the neighboring states of Arizona and Nevada.
