Before Harris accepts the party’s presidential nomination, expect a slew of heavy hitters and possible celebrity appearances
The Democratic national convention is coming to a close, with a primetime address from Kamala Harris scheduled to speak in the programming block beginning at 9pm CT.
In the biggest test of her political life thus far, Harris will make an appeal to millions of Americans that she, and not Donald Trump, deserves their votes and a shot at the White House.
Harris’s communications director, Michael Tyler, said her speech will seek to lay out her personal story and will present an “optimistic vision for America’s future, a new way forward”.
Harris will be preceded on the main stage by speeches from Democratic notable Democrats including Gabriel Giffords, Mark Kelly, Gretchen Whitmer and Roy Cooper. Expect famous celebrities – possibly even Beyoncé and Taylor Swift – to make appearances as well.
