Please welcome Democratic National Committee Chair, Jamie Harrison, and Democratic National
Convention Co-Chair, Mayor Mitch Landroom.
Welcome back Democrats.
To chair today's session, I'm proud to pass the gavel to co-chair Mayor Mitch Landroom.
Hello America.
This, and here you go, can we do it again?
The second in-person session of the 49th Padronico National Convention of the Democratic Party
will now come to order.
We stand if you are able for this evening's invocation offered by Rabbi Sharon Brows and
Imam Dr. Talib Sharif.
We have gathered together this week to craft a redemption story for America.
My faith is sustained by a redemption story, a people beleaguered and bereft traversing
the desert on a journey from degradation to dignity, from darkness to light.
Holy One, help us write America's redemption story, a story of ceaseless striving toward
a true multiracial democracy, rooted in equal justice, where every person is treated
as unique, mighty, and worthy of love.
In this story, politics is not a vehicle for repression, bigotry, or personal profit,
but a call to service.
This story counters extremism with capaciousness and compassion.
It rejects the inevitability of war, affirming that every one of us Muslim and Jew, Christian,
Black, White, Latino, AAPI, Queer, and Straight, Israeli, and Palestinian, deserves to live
in dignity and in peace.
Some say that this story is impossible, but we know that the God of redemption specializes
in the impossible, and so must we.
May we be guided by hope, joy, and a fierce moral imagination.
Amen.
Greetings of peace.
We pray that Almighty God, Allah, will bless this historic convention.
Tonight we build upon our pledge one nation under God indivisible from Adam, created
without racial, ethnic, or national identity, but the first identity, human.
Bless us to embrace our shared identity and diverse expressions of life that contribute
to the beauty and strength of our nation of nations, made up of people coming together
from every land.
E, Glory was on them.
In moving forward, in moving forward with a bold vision for the future, we pray it will
reflect our nation's diversity and intrinsic nature to live together intelligently.
Bless our leaders with wisdom to do the right thing consistent with God's ways, to
stand firm against inhumane acts, to treat all humans as the sacred creation of the Almighty.
And may we remember the inalienable rights service members sacrificed to protect.
That is the America we vote for.
Amen.
Please welcome Joshua Davis from Virginia to lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance.
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for
which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
Please welcome Aristotle Garcia Byrne to sing our national anthem.
Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light what so proudly we hailed at the twilight's
last gleaming whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight.
Oh, the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming.
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, gave proof through the night that
the flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave o'er the land of the free and the home
of the free and the home of the free and the home of the brave.
Thank you, Aris, folks, give it up for Aris one more time.
I'd like you to pause with me for a minute.
Two years ago, my dad died.
The late moon land drew.
He was a great leader.
He was a great mayor, secretary of HUD.
He lived his life for others.
We have lost so many patriots since the last convention.
So before we go any further tonight, let's take a moment and join with me and let's
remember them all.
And I never knew until then, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why,
why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why,
why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why,
why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, you were my friend.
I never knew until then, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why,
why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why,
why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, whyeveryone.
when I see your tears, when I show my faith.
Lord of you, I'll say carry on,
when I feel all hope is for.
See the world of great new life.
Your love has made me realize
that I'm so proud to be.
Oh!

Please welcome the chair of the Carter Center and grandson of President Jimmy Carter, Jason Carter.
Hello.
I'm Jason Carter.
My grandfather, President Carter, will have his 100th birthday in October.
I call him Papa, and I can tell you that he wishes he could be here tonight.
He and my grandmother led their lives with an unwavering faith in God,
a respect for human dignity, honesty, and a commitment to loving their neighbors as themselves.
Those principles guided them throughout their lives, including during their four years in the White House and the four decades since.
For my grandfather, it was never about fame, recognition, accolades, or awards.
His legacy is measured by the lives he has touched and the good he has done.
Tomoharis carries my grandfather's legacy.
She knows what is right, and she fights for it.
She understands that leadership is about service, not selfishness, that you can show strength and demonstrate decency,
and that you can get a whole lot more done with a smile than with a scowl.
Papa is holding on.
He is hopeful.
And though his body may be weak tonight, his spirit is as strong as ever.
My grandfather can't wait to vote for Kamala Harris.
She reminds us all that the promise of America remains unchanged.
We are one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
And my grandfather knows that with her as our next president, we will keep that promise.
Thank you.
Please welcome Delegate from New York and grandson of President John F. Kennedy, Jack Schlossberg.
Hi, I'm Jack Schlossberg.
President John F. Kennedy is my grandfather, and he's my hero.
JFK was the youngest person ever elected president and the first Catholic.
He sent a man to the moon, fought for civil rights, and navigated the Cuban Missile Crisis peacefully.
Most of all, he inspired a new generation to ask what they could do for our country.
Tonight, JFK's call to action is now ours to answer.
Because once again, the torch has been passed to a new generation.
To a leader who shares my grandfather's energy, vision, and optimism for our future.
That leader is Vice President Kamala Harris.
President Kennedy, Vice President Harris, has dedicated her life to public service.
She believes in America, like my grandfather did, that we do things not because they're easy, but because they're hard.
As president, she will fight for working families.
She will expand investments in clean energy so that my generation will have clean air and good jobs.
She will defend our freedoms, the freedom for women anywhere in America
to make their own health care choices, the freedom to be safe from gun violence,
the freedom to vote easily, and without fear.
The choice is ours to make, and history is watching to see what we will do.
Now, let's elect Kamala Harris, the next president of the United States. Thank you.
All right, America, how y'all doing?
We're about to have a fired up ready to go.
Yes, we can.
Night.
Y'all ready?
Well, as you can see, the torch has been passed to a new generation.
So let's start off the night by talking about what's at the heart of the Harris Wall's agenda.
Defending our freedoms, advancing opportunity, protecting our democracy.
But the other guys, Donald Trump, JD Vance, they want to rip away our rights,
crush them in a class, and destroy our democracy.
Their version of freedom is the government creeping creepily closer to every part of our lives.
They're coming for our books, they're coming for our marriages, they're coming for our bodies,
they're even coming for women who don't have kids.
But this just isn't about what we stand against.
It's about what we stand for.
Kamala Harris and Tim Walls have a bold vision for America's future where every American has a fair shot at the American Dream.
Kamala Harris and Tim Walls will build a future that belongs to all of us because we are one nation, not two.
Indivisible with liberty and justice for all, not some, we are part of one nation pledging allegiance to one flag,
and that is a flag of the United States of America.
Hear this, America is great because of who we are, and more importantly, who we strive to be.
My friends, our best days are ahead if we stick together.
My friends, say it with me, let them hear it to the rooftops.
We are not going back.
So now please help me welcome.
Please help me welcome from the great state of Pennsylvania, the great representative, Malcolm Kenyatta.
My fellow Americans, my name is Malcolm Kenyatta, a proud son of Pennsylvania.
And as you saw, I brought back Trump's Project 2025, all 900 pages of it.
And it's interesting because usually Republicans want to ban books, but now they're trying to shove this down our throats.
It is a radical plan to drag us backwards, bankrupt the middle class, and raise prices on working families like yours and mine.
Under Project 2025, a family making just $75,000 a year with just two kids would pay 1,800 bucks more in federal taxes.
No, no, no, but there's more.
Because on page 465, Project 2025 would stop Medicare from negotiating to lower the price of prescription drugs
and capping out of pocket costs.
And on page 587, Project 2025 would cut overtime pay for hardworking Americans.
But my friend, these bad ideas aren't new.
As long as we have been fighting to make America work for working families, there have been greedy corporate interests trying to take us back.
In 2019, my grandma, a civil rights warrior, called me her voice cracking.
And she said, I'm so sorry, baby.
I'm so sorry.
I thought my generation had fixed it.
And here you are fighting the same battles.
But I want to tell you tonight, my friends, what I said to my grandma.
I said, it's okay, grandma.
It's just our turn.
It's just our turn to stand up for working people and to stand up for our nation's promise.
It's just our turn to defend our rights and to ensure that democracy doesn't die on our watch.
It's our turn to make history, my friends, by electing Kamala Harris as the next president of the United States of America.
God bless you, may God protect our troops.
I've seen how the Biden-Harris focus on making health care affordable for middle-class Americans has benefited so many of my patients.
I support Kamala Harris because she fights for the working family and she thinks about the future of our country.
Trump tried to take our country backwards.
She has taken action to make sure child care and home care are accessible and affordable.
I am a type 1 diabetic with the age of 10 and having my insulin is not an option.
My name is Anne from Wisconsin and this is my daughter, Ireland.
I look qualified for a type of Medicaid based on a level of care for children with disabilities.
Donald Trump attempted to cut Medicaid every single year he was in office.
Kamala Harris is the only candidate on the ticket this year that will actually continue to fight to get caps on insulin and we meet her in office.
I am all in for Harris 2024.
Hailing from the south side of Chicago, please welcome Oscar and Grammy award-winning artist, author and long-time activist, Kamala Harris will change the world for the better with love, hope and grace.
We fortunate.
I'm fortunate to be alive, can't explain how I got here but we've arrived.
The deliverance and diligence on which we strive.
It's the feeling there's no silliness when we rise.
I'm fortunate to have friends who don't synthesize.
I keep good company, we ain't surprised.
Had a strong gave since infantized.
I guess I can see the power in the prize.
It's incentivized by the streets identified.
Other people's struggles, I don't minimize.
I'm fortunate to be born and raised in the sky.
Saw of the earth people with the braver side.
They say the guy is the truth, I wasn't raised to lie.
I'm fortunate to be so gay, survive.
Every day that I get up, I trace this guy.
Draw with the most high on the place that I am.
And I'm fortunate.
You can fill it in the air.
Hey, yo, it's love out there.
Hey, the feeling is free.
Yeah, it's not sound in the D and C.
It's not as bad.
Let's sing.
Let your endings be worthy of every star.
Hey, let's take this message to every hood
that your whole life will prove that God is good.
You can fill it in the air.
Hey, yo, it's love out there.
Hey, the feeling is free.
Yo, we live at the D and C.
I'm fortunate I was raised by my uncle Steve
and my uncle Charles.
They both told me, believe the seas of a revolutionary.
Evolution's very necessary to become fruits and berries of our labor.
Told the search for a savior.
Fortunate I had a chance to raise up.
In the days of the unknown, I'm fortunate to come home to blocks.
We fought in swan gold.
Fortunate the Lord put me on the path to use the microphone for a rhyme and a style.
Fortunate, yo, we got the golden Paris.
We fortunate y'all for Kamala Harris.
Yo, we fortunate.
Yo, it's love us in the air.
Yo, can you fill it out there?
Hey, yo, the feeling is free.
We live at the D and C.
We fortunate.
Thank you guys.
Thank you.
My name is Chuck.
I voted for Trump in 2016.
My name is Tom.
I'm from Michigan and I'm a former Trump voter.
I'm Joanna.
I live in Florida.
I'm a former Trump voter.
He cannot vote for the man and it can go from just being dishonest from a criminal and an insurrectionist.
He has no respect for Americans.
He has no respect for the Constitution.
I believe if Trump gets the second term, he's not leaving, he's staying.
He broke the law.
He doesn't believe they apply to him.
A president of the United States exists to serve the people of the United States.
In 2024, I'm voting for Kamala Harris.
I'm voting for Trump.
Please welcome Kyle Sweetser from Alabama.
Obama.
I voted for Trump not once, not twice, but three times.
You see, I work in construction.
I work with my hands.
He told us he'd look out for blue collar workers.
So I made my first ever political donation to Trump.
And I donated to him many times throughout his presidency.
But then I started to see Trump's tariff policy in action.
Cost for construction workers like me were starting to soar.
I realized Trump wasn't for me.
He was for lining his own pockets.
Now I'm not left wing, period.
But I believe our leaders should bring out the best in us, not the worst.
That's why I'm voting for Kamala Harris.
She's tough.
She's going to tackle inflation.
Trump will make it worse.
I'm voting for Kamala Harris because she'll make us proud to be American again.
Nobody's ever called me weird.
I have a lot of things, but weird I'm not.
The late-grade Hannibal Lecter is a wonderful man.
You know what I do if there was a shark or you get electrocuted?
I'll take electrocution every single time.
She said Kamala has one big advantage.
She's a very beautiful woman.
I'm a better looking person than Kamala.
He says, you're not going to be a dictator, are you?
I said, no, no, no, other than day one.
I'd like to congratulate Vladimir Putin for having made yet another great deal.
Kim Jong-un, I had a good relationship with him.
He's a tough, smart guy.
Now if I don't get elected, it's going to be a bloodbath.
Well, there's a weird one.
JD is not at all.
The people who are most arranged and most psychotic are people who don't have kids at home.
Let's give votes to all children in this country, but let's give control over those
votes to the parents of those children.
In four years, you don't have to vote again.
We haven't fixed so good you're not going to have to vote.
Please welcome Stephanie Grisham.
I wasn't just a Trump supporter.
I was a true believer.
I was one of his closest advisors.
The Trump family became my family.
I spent Easter Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's all at Marlago.
I saw him when the cameras were off.
Behind closed doors, Trump mocks his supporters.
He calls them basement dwellers.
On a hospital visit one time, when people were dying in the ICU, he was mad that the
cameras were not watching him.
He has no empathy, no morals, and no fidelity to the truth.
He used to tell me, it doesn't matter what you say, Stephanie, say it enough and people
will believe you.
But it does matter.
What you says matter, and what you don't say matters.
On January 6th, I asked Melania if we could at least tweet that while peaceful protest
is the right of every American, there's no place for lawlessness or violence.
She replied with one word, no.
I became the first senior staffer to resign that day.
I couldn't be part of the insanity any longer.
When I was press secretary, I got skewered for never holding a White House briefing.
It's because unlike my boss, I never wanted to stand at that podium in line.
Now here I am, behind a podium, advocating for a Democrat.
And that's because I love my country more than my party.
Kamala Harris tells the truth.
She respects the American people, and she has my vote.
At our 12-week ultrasound, our worst nightmares came true.
The baby had stopped growing, but my body had not let go.
I was told I was not eligible for any treatment at that point.
The Dobbs' decision was official, and abortion was banned.
In 2021, I needed an abortion after an atomic pregnancy.
I was able to access life-saving medical care when I needed it.
And now I'm turning to IVF to build my family.
I'm supporting Kamala Harris because I'm an IVF bomb.
It's not just the headline-making stories that these bans impact.
It impacts people trying to build families, just like me.
All Americans deserve the right to build their families, and the way they know is best
for them.
They're banned together, and it likes Kamala Harris as the next president of the United
States.
Please welcome Nabella Noor.
What calls me here tonight is hope.
As a woman who has struggled with fertility, I have not always been hopeful.
But today, I am.
I'd always dreamt of motherhood, and coming from a large Bangladeshi American family,
I imagined it'd be easy.
It wasn't.
My husband and I tried to conceive.
We failed.
We tried and failed again, and again, and again, for six long years.
Finally, I got pregnant.
We were overjoyed, but then I miscarried.
I was devastated.
It was only after sharing my story online and hearing from women about their experiences
with IVF that I felt a tiny glimmer of hope.
So I started the IVF process, but just a few weeks before my egg retrieval, I learned
I was pregnant.
Today, we have two beautiful daughters, but this is not everyone's ending.
For many women, IVF is the only choice.
That choice and more is at stake in November.
The freedom to plan your family, the hope of having a family at all.
I'm here to stand with everyone fighting for our reproductive freedoms, because my daughters
and yours deserve every option, every hope, every possible future.
To anyone listening who is struggling to start a family, you are not alone.
We will not let you lose hope.
Because when we come together to raise our voices with love, we win.
Thank you.
Please welcome Michigan Senator Gary Peters.
In Michigan, we believe we have to build an economy that grows the middle class.
And we know that when unions succeed, all workers win.
I was raised in a union household.
My father was a teacher, and my mother, a nurse's aide, and they gave me and my sisters
what every parent wants to provide for their children, an opportunity to pursue their dreams.
I went to public school, I worked on jobs, became an Eagle Scout, and Kamala Harris
and Tim Walz grew up just like me.
And I know, I know they will fight for all of us.
They will make it easier to raise our families and to retire with dignity.
Just look at the record.
As Vice President, Kamala Harris helped pass legislation that finally, finally allowed
Medicare to negotiate and lower the cost of prescription drugs.
She brought manufacturing jobs back to the United States of America.
And as Governor, Tim Walz signed the largest infrastructure investment in Minnesota history.
And on the other hand, we have Donald Trump and JD Vance.
And let's be clear, if they win, if they win, working people like my friends here from
the Teamsters will pay the price.
Their Project 2025 agenda is the same old, same old, got overtime paid, cut healthcare
programs, and give billions in tax breaks to billionaires.
We cannot let that happen, and we will not let that happen.
And now, I want to introduce some retired Teamsters and pension warriors, led by Ken
Shribbling, President of the National United Committee, to protect pensions.
I am Ken Shribbling, a proud retired Teamster from local 200 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
I hope you don't mind what I brought some friends.
Pension warriors from the NUCPP.
I found out in 2025, my monthly pension benefit was going to be reduced in half.
Not long after that, my wife Beverly was diagnosed with terminal cancer.
I didn't know how we were going to make it.
So I went to a retirees meeting in the basement of a small church.
At that moment, I knew we were not going to go down without a fight.
Beverly made me promise never to quit until we made this right.
So we organized a nationwide grassroot movement for six years we fought hard.
And finally, we had a breakthrough.
After 50 days in office, the Biden-Harris administration passed the American Rescue Plan, including
the Butch Lewis Act, to save our pensions and secure our retirement.
They got it done without one single Republican vote in Congress.
They saved over one million pensions, including 33,000 from my state, Wisconsin, 52,000 from
Pennsylvania, 61,000 from Michigan.
As president, I know Kamala Harris will have our backs.
She will fight for our retirement, Social Security, and Medicare.
Beverly passed away in 2019.
And I kept my promise.
It cost a promise, is a promise, is a promise.
Thank you.
For years, big pharma has often inflated the price of life-saving medications, and millions
of Americans have suffered as a result.
Those costs got passed on to our seniors, but not anymore.
It was because of them that we had insulin for $35 compared to $687.
The beauty of it is it's fixed, everything else goes up, but it stays the same.
I have more discretionary income, $20, $30 a month more, his wife and I can go to the
pub and have a burger and fries.
I can afford my rent, I can afford to feed my children, I can afford my insulin.
It's saving me a couple thousand dollars a year, which is several trips to visit the
grandkids.
I am looking forward to the lifestyle where I can travel and be able to enjoy my grandchildren
and maybe great-grandchildren.
It meant I could enjoy work.
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will be in Maryland this afternoon
to unveil a new plan cutting prescription drug costs.
Ten popular drugs are affected by this, including cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and blood
clot medications.
Members will save roughly one and a half billion dollars in out-of-pocket costs next
year.
With Kamala Harris, I feel so hopeful.
I feel the future of America will be good.
As President, I'll lower the cost of insulin and prescription drugs for everyone.
I am so excited.
I can't hardly stand it.
We're going to only go for it.
We can't go back.
Let's have another hand for our brothers and sisters from Teamsters and all of our brothers
and sisters from the unions across America who are rebuilding it.
Brick by brick.
I mean, after that, what are you talking about?
Kamala Harris wants to throw a little bit of dirt.
So here we go.
After years of dead ends and broken promises, President Biden and Vice President Harris
brought Republicans and Democrats together to actually get something done.
Trump promised Infrastructure Week but never built anything.
But this time, the Biden-Harris administration is actually breaking ground and we're starting
to turn dirt, ushering in an infrastructure decade.
All I see is possibilities ahead.
You see, the foundation of a strong economy is literally a country's infrastructure.
It's the cornerstone upon which all rest.
We finally got a president and a vice president who puts their money where their mouth is.
Already, already, $460 billion out the door, $1 trillion of private sector investment building
roads and bridges and airports and ports and water systems so that kids don't have to drink
dirty water out of lead pipes and little girls don't have to sit on the back of their
mama's car trying to do their homework so that it can have a better future for us.
We're building a clean energy economy.
All of it is moving out of the door.
And we're touching every part of the country from the Paciacalaska all the way down to
Lowlands County.
We have over here me now, 60,000 projects all across this country with funding already
underway.
It's underground running and it's right in everybody's backyards.
Two years ago, after President Biden and Vice President Harris passed the biggest infrastructure
investment since President Eisenhower, he called on me and others to help carry out
that vision as we rebuild America.
As a senior advisor to the president, we pushed out funding for the roads and the bridges.
We're literally building bridges to the future.
High speed internet and the clean energy economy.
With these projects, we're ushering in a brighter future, a future in which everyone
has clean air to breathe.
Everyone has clean water to drink.
In future in which everyone has the opportunity to build generation of wealth, a future in
which the most vulnerable communities are forced to bear the brunt of progress.
And we have made historic progress towards that vision.
Let's take a look with what progress is being made in communities across the country with
products that are being made right here in the U.S.A.
Since passing the bipartisan infrastructure law and the American Rescue Plan, the Biden
Harris administration is putting billions of dollars into cities and counties across
the country over the next five years.
I want to particularly thank the mayors of America.
You make things work.
Thanks to the Biden-Harris administration, the city of Phoenix has a much greener bus
fleet.
In San Antonio, we're building the airport of the future in the heart of our city.
Until 1970s, Scranton and New York were connected by passenger rail.
And within five years, finally, we're getting that connection back.
Our vision is to create a truly multimodal city, a city where people can walk, ride public
transportation or ride a bike to get to their destination.
Our city is able to create over 2,000 jobs and move our transit system into the future.
We're investing over $50 million to take vacant buildings just like this one to turn
them into shovel-ready job sites in the heart of our city.
We were able to use American Rescue Plan funding for safe, affordable housing cloud neighbors.
When a dilapidated apartment complex was condemned, we were able to swiftly relocate
these tenants.
In Tucson, we have planted or distributed over 100,000 drought-tolerant trees to combat
extreme heat.
In the great city of Baltimore, Maryland, we're opening brand new recs in the start
that close thing of our city.
And many, many, many, many more investments.
Thanks to President Biden and Vice President Hiers.
All right, everybody, what a way to start.
But you ain't seeing nothing yet.
We got a great night planned and it all starts off.
All you get to participate in this in the roll call.
It starts off with something unlike anything you've ever seen.
So look, stick around.
We're going to be right back at you.
Ladies and gentlemen.
We are about to take the official 2024 National Committee
Panoramic Photograph.
At this time, we would ask all the delegates and guests
to take their seats and get ready for this historic photo.
photo. During the photo, there should not be any movement in the hall. If anyone moves,
anyone behind them will be blurred. There will be one digital rotation. There will be one photo
