Tim Walz, the running mate of Kamala Harris, is set to headline the third night of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. The convention is a significant event, formally confirming Harris as the Democratic nominee for President. You can watch the live event at the top of this page.
In a powerful moment, former US President Bill Clinton delivered his 12th consecutive convention speech, praising Harris as "extraordinary" while sharply criticizing Donald Trump, accusing him of sowing chaos. Nancy Pelosi, the former Speaker of the House, also took the stage to commend Harris and expressed gratitude to Joe Biden for his years of service. Pelosi is reported to have been instrumental in encouraging Biden to step down from his presidential campaign, making way for Harris's nomination.
Outside the convention, Chicago's streets have been filled with demonstrators for the fourth consecutive day. Protesters are voicing their opposition to US support for Israel's war in Gaza, bringing heightened tensions to the city as the convention unfolds.
Earlier in the day, Donald Trump made a rare appearance behind bulletproof glass during his first outdoor rally since surviving an assassination attempt in July. The Republican Party celebrated Trump at their convention last month, solidifying his position as their candidate.
The four-day Democratic National Convention has been a family affair as well, with Harris's nieces and nephews taking the stage to offer a personal glimpse into her character. One of her nephews shared a touching story about how Harris comforted him when he was worried about Trump's election, telling him, "You know what superheroes do? They fight back." The emotional moment highlighted Harris's determination and the personal connection she shares with her family and supporters.
As the convention continues, all eyes are on Harris as she prepares to take on Trump in the upcoming election.
