He said he was like the majority of the Americans, in the political middle: 맥스카지노Let맥스카지노s put our country first.맥스카지노Gov. JB Pritzker laces into TrumpJB Pritzker, the deep-pocketed governor of Illinois who was instrumental in bringing the Democratic convention to Chicago, used most of his speech to slam Trump.Pritzker started by noting that Harris 맥스카지노spent some of her early life맥스카지노 in Illinois, which has produced past presidents including Barack Obama.맥스카지노We claim her too,맥스카지노 Pritzker declared, before pivoting to evoking hometown hero and basketball legend Michael Jordan in slamming Trump.Pritzker said the former president 맥스카지노claims to be very rich. But take it from an actual billionaire, Trump is rich in only one thing, stupidity.맥스카지노맥스카지노These guys aren맥스카지노t just weird,맥스카지노 Pritzker said. 맥스카지노They맥스카지노re dangerous.맥스카지노New Mexico governor touts Harris맥스카지노 record on health careNew Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham is using her time at the DNC podium to argue for Harris맥스카지노 ability to deliver on campaign promises, specifically when it comes to issues related to health care.Lujan Grisham focused much of her remarks around arguing that Harris as president can lower drug costs and protect abortion rights for women.맥스카지노Either these guys don맥스카지노t get it, or they just don맥스카지노t care,맥스카지노 the two-term Democrat said, of Trump and Vance and their take on such issues맥스카지노 importance. Bernie Sanders plays the hitsIt맥스카지노s a new convention, but much of Sen. Bernie Sanders맥스카지노 messaging is the same he맥스카지노s been delivering for several political cycles. A one-time Democratic challenger to both Biden and Harris, Sanders appeared on the DNC stage Tuesday to chants of his name by convention goers.In his 2016 presidential campaign, Sanders often ranted against billionaires and promised that he맥스카지노d aim to implement policies that would somewhat even out the economy, a message he returned to in his remarks.Sanders also called in large part for the removal of big money from election funding.맥스카지노Billionaires in both parties should not be able to buy elections, including primary elections,맥스카지노 he said.The Vermont progressive also laid out a series of liberal policy goals for the party if Harris were to win the president and Democrats control Congress next year. The list included expanding Medicare and raising the national minimum wage.맥스카지노I look forward to working with Kamala and Tim to pass this agenda,맥스카지노 Sanders said. 맥스카지노And let맥스카지노s be clear. This is not a radical agenda.맥스카지노Ana Navarro rallies the pet loversPolitical commentator Ana Navarro evoked a now familiar Democratic political attack line against Republicans, sticking up for the nation맥스카지노s pets.맥스카지노Kamala Harris, she likes dogs. And my dog ChaCha likes her,맥스카지노 Navarro said as a picture of Harris with her dog flashed on the convention floor screen. To loud cheers, she continued, 맥스카지노Dogs are good judges of character. So are cats.맥스카지노That was a reference to Trump맥스카지노s running mate, JD Vance, once deriding 맥스카지노childless cat ladies,맥스카지노 a past remark that has roiled the GOP campaign since he was chosen.맥스카지노We cannot elect a president who does not like dogs or hangs around with people who shoot them,맥스카지노 Navarro deadpanned. That was an allusion to Trump, who doesn맥스카지노t have any pets, and to another leading Republican, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem who killed a dog, detailing it in her own memoir.Harris makes surprise video appearance as roll call wrapsIt was never really in doubt, but after the celebratory roll call, Rea confirmed Harris맥스카지노 nomination as Democrats맥스카지노 top-of-the-ticket pick. Harris was officially nominated earlier this month in a virtual roll call of delegates.Following the roll call, Rea tossed to incoming video from Harris맥스카지노 and Walz맥스카지노s campaign appearance in Milwaukee, where the two are on stage in the same arena that hosted Republicans last month for their convention. They entered the stage to Beyoncé맥스카지노s 맥스카지노Freedom,맥스카지노 which has become an anthem for the campaign.맥스카지노I thank everyone there and here for believing in what we can do together,맥스카지노 Harris said.That split screen moment created a powerful visual for Harris: two arenas simultaneously full of her supporters.Green Bay Packers shoutout met with boos in ChicagoWhen Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers took his turn at the mic during Democrats roll call vote Tuesday, he name-checked the Green Bay Packers football team.That did not sit well in Chicago, the DNC맥스카지노s host city, where utterances of support for the Packers are often taken as fighting words by long-suffering Chicago Bears fans.Evers was showered with boos after name-checking the Packers.In their long-running Midwestern rivalry, the Packers routinely best the Bears, winning 107 games to the Bears맥스카지노 95.Delegates nominate Harris, WalzDelegates from all 50 states have voted to make Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz the Democratic presidential ticket in a ceremonial roll call.Harris to talk about Roe v. Wade in MilwaukeeHarris plans to draw attention to Trump saying Monday he had 맥스카지노no regrets맥스카지노 about appointing the Supreme Court justices who overturned Roe v. Wade and ended the constitutional right to abortion, according to an excerpt of the speech she plans to give in Milwaukee.맥스카지노That맥스카지노s because he hasn맥스카지노t had to face the consequences,맥스카지노 Harris plans to say. 맥스카지노Women and families have. Well, we will make sure he does face the consequence at the ballot box this November.맥스카지노As they awaited Harris맥스카지노 speech, her supporters listened to the Chicago convention맥스카지노s roll call blasting from the arena speakers.Video below: Hadley Duvall speaks about abortion rights at DNCThe odd coupleThey may be a somewhat unlikely pair, but DNC Secretary Jason Rae and DJ Cassidy are tag-teaming the celebratory roll call of states.Rae calls out the states and territories as they come up in the voting order, and Cassidy chimes in with occasional commentary as he flips from track to track for each batch of delegates.Why California and Minnesota passed during the roll callCalifornia and Minnesota, the home states of Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz, have passed during the convention roll call 맥스카지노 letting the party roll on.This year맥스카지노s roll call has been unlike any in political history. But one tradition held, the one mandating that the home state of the nominee generally passes, then goes near the end to pass the deciding vote to formally clinch the nomination.This year, Minnesota, where Walz is governor, could get the count close and let Harris맥스카지노 California and its motherlode of delegates put her over the top as the Democratic nominee.Sean Astin joins Indiana delegationActor Sean Astin, best known for playing the titular Notre Dame football player in 맥스카지노Rudy,맥스카지노 joined the Indiana delegation to help cast its 86 delegates for Harris and Walz.맥스카지노I want what맥스카지노s best for Indiana and that means electing Kamala Harris the first woman president of the United States of America,맥스카지노 Astin said.

It was another jab at Trump for claiming to back workers even as his administration tried to restrict the power of organized labor, a sign of how Harris hopes to diminish his backing from blue-collar voters.맥스카지노If they win, working people like my friends here from the Teamsters will pay the price,맥스카지노 said Sen. Gary Peters, D-Mich., with several Teamsters by his side.Kenneth Stribling, a retired Teamster, then explained how the Biden administration had helped rescue the financially troubled pensions of union members like himself as part of its pandemic aid.맥스카지노They got it done without one single Republican vote in Congress,맥스카지노 Stribling said. 맥스카지노They saved over 1 million pensions.맥스카지노Democrats highlight former Trump voters who switched to supporting HarrisFor the second in as many nights, the Democratic convention has frequently featured stories from ordinary voters, who talked about voting for Trump in 2016 or 2020 or both, but said they wouldn맥스카지노t do so again.The voters, filmed in what to be in their homes in states around the country, described being fed up with Trump맥스카지노s criminal conviction, his frequent lying for political gain and his leading a mob that attacked the U.S. Capitol in January 2021.The effort recalled Republicans, who during their convention featured frequent videos of 맥스카지노everyday Americans맥스카지노 to fire up their own crowd last month in Milwaukee.Trump맥스카지노s former press secretary backs HarrisTrump맥스카지노s former White House press secretary says she used to be a 맥스카지노true believer맥스카지노 who spent holidays with the Trump family, but now she맥스카지노s backing Harris.Stephanie Grisham told Democratic delegates that Trump 맥스카지노mocks맥스카지노 his supporters behind closed doors and 맥스카지노has no empathy, no morals and no fidelity to the truth.맥스카지노This fall, Grisham said she맥스카지노s backing Harris because the Democrat 맥스카지노tells the truth, she respects the American people and she has my vote.맥스카지노Grisham resigned from her White House post following the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol, the first senior staffer to do so that day.She held no press briefings as Trump맥스카지노s press secretary, explaining 맥스카지노unlike my boss, I never wanted to stand behind that podium and lie.맥스카지노Common feels 맥스카지노fortunate맥스카지노 to have Kamala HarrisRapper Common performed his hit song 맥스카지노Fortunate.맥스카지노 In the second verse, he changed the lyrics to say, 맥스카지노Fortunate, yo, we got the gold in Paris, we fortunate, y맥스카지노all, for Kamala Harris.맥스카지노 The Chicago native also added in several ad-libs about 맥스카지노Chi Town맥스카지노 as the host city of the DNC.맥스카지노I thank God for this moment in time where Kamala Harris will change the world for the better with love, hope and grace,맥스카지노 he said as he introduced the song.

He endorsed Biden in 2020 and performed at his rallies and had previously supported Obama맥스카지노s campaigns. He also performed poetry at an event at the White House in 2011 at Obama맥스카지노s invitation.The performance, which was followed by a funky instrumental rendition of 맥스카지노Tell Me Something Good,맥스카지노 signaled the convention맥스카지노s shift out of its country music moment Monday into a focus on R&B and hip-hop.Democrats throw the book at Trump (again)One of Democrats맥스카지노 favorite new political props, a massive book labeled Project 2025, made a repeat appearance at the second night of the DNC.On Tuesday, Malcolm Kenyatta, a Pennsylvania state representative and rising Democratic star, totted the book out onto the convention stage before roasting Trump and his running mate Sen. JD Vance.맥스카지노Usually Republicans want to ban books, but now they are trying to shove this down our throats,맥스카지노 Kenyatta said.In a sign of how unpopular Project 20205 is with the public, Trump has disavowed the effort. Still, it was crafted by many leading conservatives who would likely hold influential positions in a future Trump administration.The book made its first appearance on Monday when Michigan state Sen. Mallory McMorrow walked on stage and dropped the hefty tome on the top of the speaking lectern.Presidential grandsons stump for HarrisGrandsons of former Presidents Jimmy Carter and John F.

Giles said, 맥스카지노We all need an adult in the White House맥스카지노 and that the country saw when Trump was elected in 2016 what it was like not to have one.
The mayor said Biden and Harris reached across the aisle and pushed policies that benefitted his city. He said he was like the majority of the Americans, in the political middle: 맥스카지노Let맥스카지노s put our country first.맥스카지노
Gov. JB Pritzker laces into Trump
JB Pritzker, the deep-pocketed governor of Illinois who was instrumental in bringing the Democratic convention to Chicago, used most of his speech to slam Trump.
Pritzker started by noting that Harris 맥스카지노spent some of her early life맥스카지노 in Illinois, which has produced past presidents including Barack Obama.
맥스카지노We claim her too,맥스카지노 Pritzker declared, before pivoting to evoking hometown hero and basketball legend Michael Jordan in slamming Trump.
Pritzker said the former president 맥스카지노claims to be very rich. But take it from an actual billionaire, Trump is rich in only one thing, stupidity.맥스카지노
맥스카지노These guys aren맥스카지노t just weird,맥스카지노 Pritzker said. 맥스카지노They맥스카지노re dangerous.맥스카지노
New Mexico governor touts Harris맥스카지노 record on health care
New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham is using her time at the DNC podium to argue for Harris맥스카지노 ability to deliver on campaign promises, specifically when it comes to issues related to health care.
Lujan Grisham focused much of her remarks around arguing that Harris as president can lower drug costs and protect abortion rights for women.
맥스카지노Either these guys don맥스카지노t get it, or they just don맥스카지노t care,맥스카지노 the two-term Democrat said, of Trump and Vance and their take on such issues맥스카지노 importance.
Bernie Sanders plays the hits
It맥스카지노s a new convention, but much of Sen. Bernie Sanders맥스카지노 messaging is the same he맥스카지노s been delivering for several political cycles. A one-time Democratic challenger to both Biden and Harris, Sanders appeared on the DNC stage Tuesday to chants of his name by convention goers.
In his 2016 presidential campaign, Sanders often ranted against billionaires and promised that he맥스카지노d aim to implement policies that would somewhat even out the economy, a message he returned to in his remarks.
Sanders also called in large part for the removal of big money from election funding.
맥스카지노Billionaires in both parties should not be able to buy elections, including primary elections,맥스카지노 he said.
The Vermont progressive also laid out a series of liberal policy goals for the party if Harris were to win the president and Democrats control Congress next year. The list included expanding Medicare and raising the national minimum wage.
맥스카지노I look forward to working with Kamala and Tim to pass this agenda,맥스카지노 Sanders said. 맥스카지노And let맥스카지노s be clear. This is not a radical agenda.맥스카지노
Ana Navarro rallies the pet lovers
Political commentator Ana Navarro evoked a now familiar Democratic political attack line against Republicans, sticking up for the nation맥스카지노s pets.
맥스카지노Kamala Harris, she likes dogs. And my dog ChaCha likes her,맥스카지노 Navarro said as a picture of Harris with her dog flashed on the convention floor screen. To loud cheers, she continued, 맥스카지노Dogs are good judges of character. So are cats.맥스카지노
That was a reference to Trump맥스카지노s running mate, JD Vance, once deriding 맥스카지노childless cat ladies,맥스카지노 a past remark that has roiled the GOP campaign since he was chosen.
맥스카지노We cannot elect a president who does not like dogs or hangs around with people who shoot them,맥스카지노 Navarro deadpanned. That was an allusion to Trump, who doesn맥스카지노t have any pets, and to another leading Republican, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem who killed a dog, detailing it in her own memoir.
Harris makes surprise video appearance as roll call wraps
It was never really in doubt, but after the celebratory roll call, Rea confirmed Harris맥스카지노 nomination as Democrats맥스카지노 top-of-the-ticket pick. Harris was officially nominated earlier this month in a virtual roll call of delegates.
Following the roll call, Rea tossed to incoming video from Harris맥스카지노 and Walz맥스카지노s campaign appearance in Milwaukee, where the two are on stage in the same arena that hosted Republicans last month for their convention. They entered the stage to Beyoncé맥스카지노s 맥스카지노Freedom,맥스카지노 which has become an anthem for the campaign.
맥스카지노I thank everyone there and here for believing in what we can do together,맥스카지노 Harris said.
That split screen moment created a powerful visual for Harris: two arenas simultaneously full of her supporters.
Green Bay Packers shoutout met with boos in Chicago
When Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers took his turn at the mic during Democrats roll call vote Tuesday, he name-checked the Green Bay Packers football team.
That did not sit well in Chicago, the DNC맥스카지노s host city, where utterances of support for the Packers are often taken as fighting words by long-suffering Chicago Bears fans.

Evers was showered with boos after name-checking the Packers.
In their long-running Midwestern rivalry, the Packers routinely best the Bears, winning 107 games to the Bears맥스카지노 95.
Delegates nominate Harris, Walz
Delegates from all 50 states have voted to make Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz the Democratic presidential ticket in a ceremonial roll call.
Harris to talk about Roe v. Wade in Milwaukee
Harris plans to draw attention to Trump saying Monday he had 맥스카지노no regrets맥스카지노 about appointing the Supreme Court justices who overturned Roe v. Wade and ended the constitutional right to abortion, according to an excerpt of the speech she plans to give in Milwaukee.
맥스카지노That맥스카지노s because he hasn맥스카지노t had to face the consequences,맥스카지노 Harris plans to say. 맥스카지노Women and families have. Well, we will make sure he does face the consequence at the ballot box this November.맥스카지노
As they awaited Harris맥스카지노 speech, her supporters listened to the Chicago convention맥스카지노s roll call blasting from the arena speakers.

The odd couple
They may be a somewhat unlikely pair, but DNC Secretary Jason Rae and DJ Cassidy are tag-teaming the celebratory roll call of states.
Rae calls out the states and territories as they come up in the voting order, and Cassidy chimes in with occasional commentary as he flips from track to track for each batch of delegates.
Why California and Minnesota passed during the roll call
California and Minnesota, the home states of Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz, have passed during the convention roll call 맥스카지노 letting the party roll on.
This year맥스카지노s roll call has been unlike any in political history. But one tradition held, the one mandating that the home state of the nominee generally passes, then goes near the end to pass the deciding vote to formally clinch the nomination.
This year, Minnesota, where Walz is governor, could get the count close and let Harris맥스카지노 California and its motherlode of delegates put her over the top as the Democratic nominee.
Sean Astin joins Indiana delegation
Actor Sean Astin, best known for playing the titular Notre Dame football player in 맥스카지노Rudy,맥스카지노 joined the Indiana delegation to help cast its 86 delegates for Harris and Walz.
맥스카지노I want what맥스카지노s best for Indiana and that means electing Kamala Harris the first woman president of the United States of America,맥스카지노 Astin said.
Delegates show off their home-state tunes
Decked out in blue satin, DJ Cassidy is spinning a special song for each state in the roll call at the Democratic Convention.
Alabama, obviously, got 맥스카지노Sweet Home Alabama맥스카지노 by Lynyrd Skynyrd. Alaska announced their backing of Vice President Harris to 맥스카지노Feel It Still맥스카지노 by Portugal. The Man, a band from Wasilla. Florida committed its delegates to 맥스카지노I Won맥스카지노t Back Down맥스카지노 by Tom Petty, who was born in Gainesville. The rapper Lil Jon appeared over the music of DJ Snake맥스카지노s 맥스카지노Turn Down for What맥스카지노 ahead of Georgia awarding its delegates to Harris.
Lil Jon makes a surprise appearance during Harris roll call
In a surprise appearance, rapper Lil Jon joined the Georgia delegation to help deliver its 123 votes for Harris. The rapper맥스카지노s hit song 맥스카지노Get Low맥스카지노 has became a sort of rally cry for the Harris-Walz campaign in the last few weeks.

맥스카지노Present맥스카지노
Under Democratic Party rules, only Harris garnered enough signatures to be entered into nomination. Votes for any other person or uncommitted votes were tallied as 맥스카지노present맥스카지노 during the virtual roll call earlier this month. Tuesday night맥스카지노s 맥스카지노celebratory맥스카지노 vote is following that earlier맥스카지노s roll calls vote total.
The roll call begins
Democrats are holding a 맥스카지노celebratory맥스카지노 roll call vote to nominate Harris on the second night of their convention in Chicago. The party held a virtual vote on Aug. 6 that made her the party맥스카지노s official nominee. Tuesday맥스카지노s vote is taking place with a DJ and light show in the United Center arena.
Teamsters members make DNC appearance absent President Sean O맥스카지노Brien
While Teamsters President Sean O맥스카지노Brien chose to speak at the Republican convention at Trump맥스카지노s invite, members of his union decided to appear at the Democratic convention to say they맥스카지노re with Vice President Harris. It was another jab at Trump for claiming to back workers even as his administration tried to restrict the power of organized labor, a sign of how Harris hopes to diminish his backing from blue-collar voters.
맥스카지노If they win, working people like my friends here from the Teamsters will pay the price,맥스카지노 said Sen. Gary Peters, D-Mich., with several Teamsters by his side.

US Senator from Michigan Gary Peters (L) speaks alongside retired teamsters on the second day of the Democratic National Convention (DNC) at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois, on Aug. 20, 2024.
Kenneth Stribling, a retired Teamster, then explained how the Biden administration had helped rescue the financially troubled pensions of union members like himself as part of its pandemic aid.
맥스카지노They got it done without one single Republican vote in Congress,맥스카지노 Stribling said. 맥스카지노They saved over 1 million pensions.맥스카지노
Democrats highlight former Trump voters who switched to supporting Harris
For the second in as many nights, the Democratic convention has frequently featured stories from ordinary voters, who talked about voting for Trump in 2016 or 2020 or both, but said they wouldn맥스카지노t do so again.
The voters, filmed in what to be in their homes in states around the country, described being fed up with Trump맥스카지노s criminal conviction, his frequent lying for political gain and his leading a mob that attacked the U.S. Capitol in January 2021.
The effort recalled Republicans, who during their convention featured frequent videos of 맥스카지노everyday Americans맥스카지노 to fire up their own crowd last month in Milwaukee.
Trump맥스카지노s former press secretary backs Harris
Trump맥스카지노s former White House press secretary says she used to be a 맥스카지노true believer맥스카지노 who spent holidays with the Trump family, but now she맥스카지노s backing Harris.
Stephanie Grisham told Democratic delegates that Trump 맥스카지노mocks맥스카지노 his supporters behind closed doors and 맥스카지노has no empathy, no morals and no fidelity to the truth.맥스카지노
This fall, Grisham said she맥스카지노s backing Harris because the Democrat 맥스카지노tells the truth, she respects the American people and she has my vote.맥스카지노

Common feels 맥스카지노fortunate맥스카지노 to have Kamala Harris
Rapper Common performed his hit song 맥스카지노Fortunate.맥스카지노 In the second verse, he changed the lyrics to say, 맥스카지노Fortunate, yo, we got the gold in Paris, we fortunate, y맥스카지노all, for Kamala Harris.맥스카지노 The Chicago native also added in several ad-libs about 맥스카지노Chi Town맥스카지노 as the host city of the DNC.
맥스카지노I thank God for this moment in time where Kamala Harris will change the world for the better with love, hope and grace,맥스카지노 he said as he introduced the song. Grammy-winning gospel singer Jonathan McReynolds joined Common on stage, singing some of his song 맥스카지노God is God맥스카지노 between verses and vocalizing to 맥스카지노Fortunate.맥스카지노
Common, a Grammy and Oscar-winning musician and actor, is no stranger to political advocacy. He endorsed Biden in 2020 and performed at his rallies and had previously supported Obama맥스카지노s campaigns. He also performed poetry at an event at the White House in 2011 at Obama맥스카지노s invitation.
The performance, which was followed by a funky instrumental rendition of 맥스카지노Tell Me Something Good,맥스카지노 signaled the convention맥스카지노s shift out of its country music moment Monday into a focus on R&B and hip-hop.
Democrats throw the book at Trump (again)
One of Democrats맥스카지노 favorite new political props, a massive book labeled , made a repeat appearance at the second night of the DNC.
On Tuesday, Malcolm Kenyatta, a Pennsylvania state representative and rising Democratic star, totted the book out onto the convention stage before roasting Trump and his running mate Sen. JD Vance.
맥스카지노Usually Republicans want to ban books, but now they are trying to shove this down our throats,맥스카지노 Kenyatta said.
In a sign of how unpopular Project 20205 is with the public, Trump has disavowed the effort. Still, it was crafted by many leading conservatives who would likely hold influential positions in a future Trump administration.
The book made its first appearance on Monday when Michigan state Sen. Mallory McMorrow walked on stage and dropped the hefty tome on the top of the speaking lectern.
Presidential grandsons stump for Harris
Grandsons of former Presidents Jimmy Carter and John F. Kennedy cast Vice President Haris in the same image as their famous family members.
맥스카지노Kamala Harris carries my grandfather맥스카지노s legacy,맥스카지노 said Jason Carter. 맥스카지노She knows what is right.맥스카지노
He said the 99-year-old former president wishes he could be in attendance. 맥스카지노His body may be weak tonight, but his spirit is stronger than ever,맥스카지노 Carter said. 맥스카지노My grandfather can맥스카지노t wait to vote for Kamala Harris.맥스카지노
Jack Schlossberg, Kennedy맥스카지노s grandson, said like when his grandfather was elected in 1960, 맥스카지노Once again, the torch has been passed to a new generation,맥스카지노 he said. 맥스카지노She believes in America like my grandfather did 맥스카지노 that we do things not because they are easy, but because they are hard.맥스카지노
Patti LaBelle performs 맥스카지노You Are My Friend맥스카지노
The DNC crowd didn맥스카지노t get James Taylor singing 맥스카지노You맥스카지노ve Got a Friend맥스카지노 but they did get another music legend 맥스카지노 R&B star Patti LaBelle 맥스카지노 singing 맥스카지노You Are My Friend.맥스카지노
LaBelle sang the stirring number during a memorial segment as the proceedings began for the evening. 맥스카지노God bless America, Kamala Harris!맥스카지노 she called out at the end.
