Vice President Kamala Harris made a brief video appearance at the DNC from a Milwaukee rally after she officially accepted the Democratic Party's 2024 presidential nomination following roll call on Tuesday.

Why it matters: The simultaneous vision of two packed arenas comes as Harris has been weaponizing crowd sizes against former President Trump, to the frustration of her Republican presidential rival.

What she's saying: "We are so honored to be your nominees," said Harris, who had already won a majority of delegates during a virtual Democratic National Committee roll call vote last month.

"I thank everyone there and here for believing in what we can do together," she said.
"Together we will chart a new way forward."
