Night 2 of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago was one for the books!
It was a night filled with excitement and hope, and the Windy City showed up and showed out! Patti LaBelle, Common and Jonathan McReynolds hit the stage with powerful performances. Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff gave a uniquely beautiful speech on the character of his wife, Vice President Kamala Harris, showing why she’s the right person for the presidency. And, of course, let’s not forget our former First Couple, Barack and (especially!) Michelle Obama, coming with all the smoke to energize the delegates.
In a night filled with epic moments, perhaps one of the most exciting moments of the night was the roll call to officially declare VP Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, as the Democrats’ candidates for the presidency and vice presidency. Normally, the roll call is somewhat calm in tone, just like this year’s roll call for the Republican National Convention a few weeks ago.
However, the Democrats decided to do things a little differently. With the assist from DJ Cassidy, each state and U.S. territory had their own soundtrack.
