Vice President Kamala Harris warned that former President Donald Trump would bring the United States back to a dangerous policy path if he was elected to his next term of office during a speech on the final day of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on Thursday night.

What Kamala said after officially accepting his candidacy for president in the 2024 US elections, after a series of four-day national conventions at the United Center, refers to a decision from the US Supreme Court earlier this year which stated that Trump could claim limited immunity from criminal charges for the actions taken while in office.

"Just imagine Donald Trump without a guardrail," Harris said.

He worked to link all Trump's policies to Project 2025, a 920-page document serving as a blueprint for Trump's second term. He said the document shows what Trump's second term would look like.

"Considering what he will do if we give him more power. Consider his explicit intention to release extremists who commit violence who attack law enforcement officers on the Capitol. His explicit intention to imprison journalists, political opponents and anyone he considers an enemy. His explicit intention to deploy the military is active against our own citizens," Harris explained.

The 2025 project, which is often attacked by the Harris campaign, is organized by the think tank The Heritage Foundation and developed mostly by people who have served in the Trump administration. Trump has tried to distance himself from this initiative.

The goal of Project 2025 and Trump, Harris said, is to "attract our country from returning to the past."

"But America, we will not come back," he said.

On the same occasion, Harris argued that Uncle Sam's country was not divided as his rivals said in the election, by prioritizing unity in his speech.

He said the American people "have more in common than differences" and "neither of us should fail for all of us to succeed."

Harris said former President Donald Trump and his vice presidential candidate JD Vance "lowen America" and "talk about how bad things are" in the campaign.

"Well, my mother has other lessons she usually teaches. Never let anyone say who you are, show who you are," Harris said.

"America, let's show each other and to the world who we are and what we stand for: freedom, opportunity, affection, dignity, justice, and endless possibilities," he said.

Harris officially announced the acceptance of his candidacy by the Democratic Party on the final day of the Democratic National Convention.

The incumbent of the US Vice President became the first black woman and the first Asian-American to lead a major party. If elected, Harris will be the first woman and American president of Indian descent.

On that occasion, he vowed to become president to all Americans.
