The 2024 Democratic National Convention in Chicago saw delegates ceremonially pledge their support for Vice President Kamala Harris as the party’s presidential nominee. In a lively event with DJ Cassidy spinning records, each state and U.S. territory cast their votes while showcasing their unique characteristics and reasons for backing Harris. Notable figures, including rapper Lil Jon, actors Wendell Pierce and Sean Astin, and several prominent Democratic lawmakers, joined the celebration.
The roll call marked a repeat of an earlier online event, solidifying Harris’s position as the nominee. Minnesota and California, significant as the home states of Harris and Gov. Tim Walz, were the final states to vote. Harris and Walz are set to officially accept their nominations later in the week.
