Former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama are returning to the city they once called home to take the stage in support of Vice President Kamala Harris' nomination.
Tuesday, August 20, 2024 5:44PMDemocratic National ConventionWith President Joe Biden having addressed delegates, the week's full focus now turns to Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, as the party and its leaders aim to argue why their new nominee is best suited to be in the White House over the Republican nominee, former President Donald Trump.
The Obamas are expected to headline the convention's second night, a day after the unofficial farewell for Biden, who served eight years as Obama's vice president. Biden won't be in the hall to see his former running mate speak, having departed Chicago after his own speech. In addition to the Obamas, Harris' husband, second gentleman Doug Emhoff, is also scheduled to give his speech on Tuesday night. Emhoff, the nation's first second gentleman, would also be the first man to be first gentleman if Harris is elected president.
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, Illinois Sen. Tammy Duckworth, Mesa, Arizona mayor candidate John Giles and Stephanie Grisham are also expected to speak.According to convention organizers, the theme for Tuesday's events is "A bold vision for America's future," a defined pivot toward a new generation for Democrats and their leadership.
