The Democratic National Convention held a ceremonial roll call of the states at the United Center in Chicago to officially nominate Kamala Harris as the party’s vice presidential candidate. Despite the decision being made virtually earlier in the month, delegates showed their support with enthusiasm, music, and special appearances. The event featured DJ music, corn hat hats, a surprise performance by rapper Lil Jon, and heartfelt speeches from delegates in support of Harris and her running mate Tim Walz.
Delegates highlighted Harris’ dedication to justice and her impact on issues such as criminal justice reform, racial equality, and economic justice. California Governor Gavin Newsom praised Harris’s work in various roles, while the Georgia delegation stood out with a performance by Lil Jon. The event culminated with a live video of Harris at a campaign rally, expressing gratitude for the nomination and emphasizing a vision for a future of freedom, opportunity, and optimism.
Despite the unconventional format due to the virtual voting process, the roll call served as a celebratory moment for Democrats to come together and show unity in support of the Harris-Walz ticket. The event showcased the party’s commitment to diversity, justice, and progress, setting the stage for a new direction forward in the upcoming election.
