Day 2: Star-studded lineup offers bold vision for America

DNC

Day 2 of the Democratic National Convention (DNC) will bring a star-studded lineup to the stage, as prominent figures such as former President and First Lady, Barack and Michelle Obama, former Trump Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham, and Republican-turned-Democrat Adam Kinzinger will join forces to deliver powerful speeches about the vision for America’s future.

“This race isn’t just a choice between two candidates. It’s a choice between two very different visions of America. While Donald Trump believes our best days are behind us, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz know the best days lie ahead,” said a DNC press release.

The night will feature heartfelt appearances by the grandson of John F. Kennedy Jr., Jack Schlossberg, and Jason Carter, grandson of former President Jimmy Carter. Governor JB Pritzker of Illinois will also be on hand to offer his take on the convention’s central themes and rally the energized crowd.
