The Dem Convention speakers schedule is out for Night 2. Former President Barack Obama and former FLOTUS Michelle Obama are the main speeches of the night.
Other notable speakers: Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, Illinois Sen. Tammy Duckworth, Jason Carter, Stephanie Grisham, New York Sen. and Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, Angela Alsobrooks, and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff.
Tonight will also feature the roll call for the Presidential nomination of Kamala Harris and the Vice-Presidential nomination of Tim Walz, beginning with Delaware and ending with Minnesota and California.
How so? And it’s a genuine question. I don’t know if you’re using interesting as an intellectually “what is the rationale?“ Or as “WTF were they thinking?” Am guessing it’s more of the former and thinking someone else would be better suited but not sure.
It's an intellectual question, though I understand why you could have read the midwestern "interesting" into it!
Alsobrooks wasn't one of the people I'd have expected, but it does make a certain amount of sense, especially given that she's listed as a longtime mentee of Harris. I'm curious to hear what she's like as a speaker.
Makes sense, thanks for clarifying. And yeah, if the keynote speaker is meant for rising stars she probably wouldn’t have been on my radar (just because of limited slots) but great she’s getting the opportunity.
All I'll say is this, I assume Michelle will speak right before Barack and she should be up at the podium between 10-10:15 ET and even 10:15 is probably too late. That Joe Biden's speech itself didn't start until 11:30 ET was just an awful job of scheduling and planning because I don't think any of the speakers went particularly long.

So the keynote is Alsobrooks. Interesting choice there.

Apparently they scratched James Taylor to avoid another timing miss
