It was considered one of the biggest DNC watch parties in Chicago. Hundreds of people filled the stands at Soldier Field to watch history unfold in a second arena.Award-winning artist and Chicago-native Common kicked things off with a performance. The crowd witnessed Vice President Kamala Harris formally accepting her party's nomination for president on the Soldier Field jumbo-tron."We're at a point in history where we really need to be focused on what's right for this country and how to move ahead," said Chris Del Signore, who is visiting from California.
While the home of the Bulls and Blackhawks was packed for the historic occasion, excitement filled a second Chicago arena at the home of the Bears on the other side of town"The idea here is to let everybody in Chicago be part of this history in the making, and they deserve to," GoChiLife volunteer director Malcolm Weems. "This is their home."Many Harris supporters said the work now begins as they look ahead to Election Day.
"I'm just going to quote Michelle," Chicago area native Caty Shenault said. "She said, 'When they go low, we go high.' But, we're going to go higher, and Kamala is higher."
