The Obamas Appear on Day 2...Harris's husband's speech also draws attention

The Democratic National Convention, which received much attention from the first day due to speeches by U.S. President Joe Biden and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, will continue its success on the 20th (local time) with former President Barack Obama and his wife.

Former President Obama will appear as the last speaker on the second day of the Democratic National Convention at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois.



Former President Obama, like other speakers, is expected to focus on criticizing Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and confirming his support for Vice President Harris.

At the convention the previous day, the incumbent president, Biden, gave Vice President Harris a boost, which means that the former president is joining the ranks of support. Former President Bill Clinton will also speak on the 21st.

Just before Obama's speech, first lady Michelle Obama will take the stage.



First lady Michelle Obama is so popular that she was mentioned as an alternative to President Joe Biden ahead of the presidential election.

It is expected to voice the possibility of the birth of the first female president in the United States and the issue of abortion rights for women.

Harris made a surprise appearance at the party convention on the previous day, but is not expected to make an appearance on the day. Harris will participate in the election campaign in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Instead, Vice President Harris' husband, Doug Emhoff, will speak.

Emhoff, a Jewish American, married Harris 10 years ago and served as the "second gentleman" in the Biden administration. If Harris wins the presidential election, she will be the first "first gentleman" in U.S. history.


Emhoff is expected to focus on highlighting and delivering Vice President Harris's human side in the speech.

In addition, big-name Democratic politicians were listed as speakers.

Senator Bernie Sanders (Vermont), who faced President Biden fiercely in the 2020 presidential race, will hold the microphone.

Just before Senator Sanders, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (New York), who is effectively leading the U.S. Senate, will speak.

Meanwhile, at the convention, a "roll call (call vote)" process will also be held to officially certify the nominations of Vice President Harris and Governor Walz for president and vice president.

In a video roll call earlier this month, Harris won 99 percent of the Democratic Party's delegates, making her a presidential candidate. Delegates from each state plan to reaffirm this.

The Democratic National Convention will kick off on the 19th and run until the 22nd.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz's acceptance speech for the vice presidential nomination on the 21st and Vice President Kamala Harris' acceptance speech for the presidential nomination on the 22nd, the last day.
