Former President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle will close the second night of the Democratic National Convention. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Senator Bernie Sanders, Doug Emhoff (Kamala Harris' husband), and Jason Carter (Jimmy Carter's grandson) will also speak.
The program includes a roll call and remarks by the Minnesota and California delegations, as well as anti-Trump Republicans and family members of prominent Democrats. Obama, Michelle Obama, Emhoff, Jill Biden, and Stephanie Grisham are among the headliners.
The speeches will highlight the importance of the upcoming election, Harris's readiness to lead, and the threat to democracy. Obama's speech, his first since Biden ended his reelection bid, will focus on hope and the legacy of Vice President Joe Biden.
The DNC will also feature Republicans endorsing the Harris-Walz ticket and criticizing Trump. The convention will be broadcast live and can be streamed online.
