Day three of Democratic Convention features party’s rising stars

With just three months to go before the 2024 election, thousands of people have gathered in Chicago this week to support Vice-President Kamala Harris at the Democratic National Convention.

After the first two days of the party’s celebration, Democrats are gathering at the United Center Arena on Wednesday to hear from Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, the party’s nominee for vice-president.

The evening will feature a full slate of prominent Democrats, including rising stars Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, Maryland Governor Wes Moore and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

The convention started off on Monday with prime-time remarks from President Joe Biden – an emotional speech that was frequently interrupted by thunderous applause and chants of “Thank you Joe”.

Tuesday brought the ceremonial roll call vote in which state delegations declared their support for the Harris-Walz ticket, and the evening closed with rousing speeches from Barack and Michelle Obama.
