Thursday is the last night of the Democratic National Convention, bringing us to the finale of the DNC’s week-long effort to not just stir up enthusiasm for the Harris-Walz ticket, but to also explain and counter the sinister, grievance-based, backwards-looking agenda of the Trump-Vance campaign.
Vice President Kamala Harris will deliver the keynote speech as she formally accepts the party’s historic presidential nomination. Harris’ speech — similar to the one Gov. Tim Walz gave on Wednesday night — will reportedly focus on her story, as well as her record and accomplishments. Aligned with the theme of the night, “For Our Future,” she will also make the case for her campaign, highlighting the stark contrast between her and Republicans’ vision for the country.
Others, including Sens. Alex Padilla (D-CA) and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and former GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger (IL) are also expected to give remarks.

What to know:
- The third day of the Democratic National Convention served as an introduction for Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
- Walz officially accepted the nomination as the vice presidential candidate and delivered a short, snappy speech, taking listeners through his upbringing, his entry into politics and his accomplishments since then.
- The governor many are dubbing the “Midwestern dad the democrats need” made the case for the Harris-Walz ticket and the theme of the night: freedom.
- “When Republicans use the word freedom, they mean that the government should be free to invade your doctor’s office, corporations free to pollute your air and water and banks free to take advantage of customers,” Walz said in a fiery speech. “But when we Democrats talk about freedom, we mean the freedom to make a better life for yourself and the people that you love, freedom to make your own healthcare decisions, and yea, your kids freedom to go to school without worrying about being shot dead in the hall.”
