The final day of the Democratic National Convention has come to an end.

Taking place at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois, day four included a moving performance from singer P!NK.

Actress and producer Eva Longoria said ‘Yes She Can’ and The Chicks performed a clunky performance of the national anthem.

Vice President Kamala Harris officially accepted the Democratic nomination for President and laid out her plans for Gaza, Ukraine, abortion rights and opportunity for all.

‘Wouldn’t trust him to move my couch’

Warren asked how Americans are meant to trust Donald Trump with health care, the economy and immigration.

“I wouldn’t trust him to move my couch,” Harris said.

“Let’s do it, let’s elect Kamala Harris as the next President of the United States of America.”

‘The felon has no plans,’ says Warren

“Donald Trump, the felon, has no plans to lower costs for families,” Warren said.

“He doesn’t know how and basically, he doesn’t care.

“When did he ever fill up a gas tank, or worry about a grocery bill?

“The only bills he worries about are from his criminal defence lawyers.

“Kamala, she cares deep down.

“She will take on the giant corporations that are squeezing American families.

“As President, she will lower costs for your family.”

Elizabeth Warren makes an emotional entry

Senator Elizabeth Warren has taken to the stage, visibly moved by the warm welcome she received from the audience.

“You know what I love best about Kamala Harris?” Warren asked.

“Kamala Harris can’t be bought and she can’t be bossed around,” Warren said with tears in her eyes.

Singer P!NK is in the building

P!NK has completed her soundcheck at the United Center in Chicago.

Appearing alongside her daughter Willow on stage, the pop star rehearsed in the room before the crowds were let in.

The singer is set to hype up the room just a few speakers before Harris’s nominee acceptance speech.
