Second night (Tuesday, August 20: A Bold Vision for America's Future)

Harris and Walz entering the stage together during at the Fiserv Forum during their rally in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on the second night of the convention

The second night was emceed by television commentator and political strategist Ana Navarro (a Republican Harris supporter), and included performances by Patti LaBelle and Common.[9][failed verification] Former first lady Michelle Obama and former president Barack Obama, who gave the closing addresses,[10] and second gentleman Doug Emhoff were among those that spoke.[11][failed verification][12][failed verification] Jason Carter, grandson of former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, also gave a speech on this night and honored his grandfather. Another presidential grandson, John F. Kennedy’s grandson Jack Schlossberg, spoke as well.[13]

Described as a "celebratory roll call" or ceremonial roll call, delegates ceremonially reported voting results for the presidential nomination hosted by Secretary of the DNC, Jason Rae. Led by DJ Cassidy, each state's delegation was accompanied by their choice of background music during the roll call of the states, largely consisting of songs from artists from each respective state.[14][15][16] The atmosphere of the roll call was likened by many outlets to a dance party, and seen as more exciting than conventional roll calls seen at most previous conventions.[17]

Amid the nomination vote, Harris and Walz addressed a campaign rally gathered at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee that was attended by 15,000 spectators. A portion of Harris' remarks there were telecast live to the United Center following the conclusion of the roll call.[18][19] The Fiserv Forum is approximately 80 miles (130 km) from the United Center, and had weeks earlier been the main venue of the 2024 Republican National Convention.[20]
