The third night of the Democratic National Convention will feature speeches from several leading party figures before Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz accepts the vice presidential nomination and introduces himself to the nation.
Wednesday’s lineup at Chicago’s United Center includes former President Bill Clinton, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and others. A handful of senators and governors are also slated to speak, including Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, who was one of the finalists for the vice presidential pick.
Walz will formally accept his role as Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate in his primetime address at the end of the night, the most important and high-profile speech of his political career. A former high school teacher and football coach, Walz will be introduced by one of his former students and Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar.
On Tuesday, Barack and Michelle Obama addressed the convention, laying out the case for Harris and Walz while urging Democrats to maintain the enthusiasm that has been on display in Chicago.
