Democrats’ triumphant Chicago convention has entered its final day. So far this week, we’ve heard from two former presidents (Obama, Clinton), one current president (Biden), the vice-presidential candidate (Walz), a bevy of high-ranking elected officials, Michelle Obama, and Oprah. But the main event — Kamala Harris’s acceptance of the Democratic nomination, in a speech that seemed far-fetched just a few weeks ago — awaits. Harris has reportedly been intensely focused on her address, which will focus on her biography and themes of American patriotism. Before she speaks, another slate of heavy hitters will sing her praises, including Senator Elizabeth Warren and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. One lingering question is whether Dems can get it together to stay on schedule, which they have failed to do three nights in a row, with speakers going well past the 11 p.m. hour every time. Follow below for live updates from the DNC’s swan song.
This is a developing story.
