Vice President Harris is accepting the Democratic Party’s nomination for president Thursday in Chicago, the final day of the Democratic National Convention. The Chicks will perform the national anthem — and they bring a complicated history.
Some highlights to watch for:
- Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan will make the case for swing state voters
- Gov. Roy Cooper of North Carolina (Whitmer and Cooper were considered to be possible vice presidential picks for Harris)
- Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, a Republican who broke with his party on impeaching former President Donald Trump in the wake of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol
- Rep. Maxwell Frost of Florida, the first Gen Z member of Congress
