Harris is set to deliver the biggest speech of her political career on the final night of the Democratic convention in Chicago. This speech will be crucial in convincing voters that she is a better choice for president than Donald Trump. Before Harris takes the stage, there will be speeches from other party luminaries, including Elizabeth Warren and Arizona senator Mark Kelly. There are also rumors of a surprise musical guest, with Beyoncé or Taylor Swift being potential candidates. The convention has faced pressure to allow a Palestinian-American speaker, but as of now, no such inclusion has been announced. Activists and delegates are holding a sit-in to push for this representation.
Civil rights activist Al Sharpton accused Trump of sowing division, and Pat Ryan criticized Trump for reported insults towards veterans. The convention also heard from congresswoman Elissa Slotkin, who criticized Trump for admiring dictators. Elizabeth Warren praised Harris for being unbossed and unbuyable, while echoing her own anti-corporate sentiment. The convention will also feature survivors of mass shootings, the Central Park Five, and performances by comedian DL Hughley and The Chicks.
Harris is expected to speak at 9:45 pm CT, with the hope of creating a memorable moment that will energize Democratic voters in the lead-up to the election. This evening’s events will focus on highlighting a diverse range of voices and issues, emphasizing the party’s commitment to progress and change.
