Kamala Harris, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton: What will happen on the third day of the Democratic National Convention?
The third night of the Democratic National Convention will be the big day of California Senator Kamala Harris, who will be formally nominated as the vice presidential candidate. Joe Biden was nominated as the candidate for president on Tuesday.
This is a historic night, as Harris is the first woman of color from a large party to be nominated for the second-highest office in the United States government. Her nomination will come after former President Barack Obama, the first man of color to win the White House, makes a speech.
The night has the motto "A more perfect union." The program will last, as in the two previous nights, from 9:00 pm to 11:00 pm . It will be hosted by actress Kerry Washington and will feature performances by singers Billie Eilish and Jennifer Hudson .
These are the main speakers of the night:
✔️ Kamala Harris : The 55-year-old former California Attorney General will have the opportunity tonight to re-present herself in a different light, now before a larger audience, after her presidential campaign fell by the wayside in 2019. "Right now, we have a president who turns our tragedies into political weapons," he will say tonight, according to a preview of his speech.
✔️ Hillary Clinton : The former first lady participated in the last Democratic Convention of 2016, when she accepted the nomination as a candidate for the presidency that she would face (and lose against) Donald Trump in the elections that followed. Since her defeat, she has given multiple interviews and written a book. Clinton is still the target of attack by the Trump campaign. "Vote as if our lives and our livelihoods are at stake, because they are," he will say, according to a preview of his speech.

She was one of the women Biden considered for vice president and is very interested in being part of the next Administration, if the Democrats win.
✔️ Barack Obama : In addition to the Kamala Harris moment, the former president's speech is one of the most anticipated moments of the day. The intervention of his wife Michelle was the highlight of the opening night of the convention. Obama will use his screen time to highlight the positive points of Biden, a man whom he elected as vice president in 2008. But also to confront Trump, as this preview of his speech shows: “(Trump) has not shown interest in do the work; no interest in finding common ground; no interest in using the awesome power of his office to help anyone but himself and his friends. "
✔️ Nancy Pelosi : The Speaker of the House of Representatives, a staunch critic of Trump, is planning to say, according to a preview of her speech: “As president, I have seen first-hand Donald Trump's lack of respect for the facts. , for working families and for women in particular, the lack of respect written in their policies towards our health and our rights, not just their behavior. But we know what he doesn't know: that when women succeed, America succeeds. "
