The Democratic Party National Convention (DNC) got underway on Monday, with the respective candidacies of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz for president and vice president of United States to be made official.

Current president Joe Biden, who had been due to go up against Donald Trump in the 2024 US elections before dropping, opened the 2024 DNC with an inaugural address, while Golden State Warriors and Team USA basketball coach Steve Kerr also caught the eye with a defiant message for Trump.

One of his predecessors, Barack Obama, as well as his wife Michelle, will give a speech on Tuesday to the estimated 50,000 attendees at the convention in Chicago.

“A Bold Vision for America’s Future” under Harris is the theme for the the second day of the event. Illinois Governer JB Pritzker will offer a welcome, with the Obamas headlining the primetime speeches. The former First Lady will speak first, with her husband following her onto the stage.
