    Angela Alsobrooks, the Democratic Senate candidate for Maryland and longtime friend of Vice President Kamala Harris, had delegates at the Democratic National Convention chanting “We are not going back” after delivering a rousing speech Tuesday night about Harris’ record as an accuser and their 14-year relationship.

    “I have always been inspired by women like my grandmother, women who envision a better future and then have the courage to make it a reality,” Alsobrooks said. “One of them is a friend, a mentor and a role model. That woman is Kamala Harris. Let me tell you about the Kamala I know.”

    She praised Harris as a “super-bad district attorney” who is able to hold violent criminals accountable while also advancing programs to end recidivism.
