Who's speaking at DNC on Day 3? See list of speakers including Walz, Pelosi and Clinton
The Democratic National Convention kicked off Monday as President Joe Biden officially passed the torch to Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic candidate for the 2024 United States Presidential Election with Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota as her running mate.
The 81-year-old Democratic president ended his reelection campaign last month and endorsed the vice president as the nominee, which has shifted polls significantly in recent weeks as women and younger voters push Harris slightly above Former President Donald Trump in the polls.
Day 2 of the DNC included speeches from former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama, as well as Harris' husband and United States second gentleman Doug Emhoff and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker.
