The Democratic National Convention convened for night two in Chicago, on Tuesday, with the theme, “A Bold Vision for America’s Future.”
But as prominent Democrats urged America to back Kamala Harris, the nominee herself was 90 miles away, campaigning in the battleground state of Wisconsin.
“We are so honored to be your nominees. This is a people-powered campaign, and together we will chart a new way forward,” Harris told the crowd.

As she stumped for votes, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff paid tribute to his wife on the DNC’s prime time stage. “Wherever she’s needed, however she’s needed, Kamala rises to the occasion. And she did it for me and our family. And now that the country needs her, she’s showing you what we already know. She’s ready to lead,” he said.
In back-to-back speeches, Michelle and Barack Obama delivered a strong endorsement of Harris, followed by cutting attacks against Donald Trump.
“We do not need four more years of bluster and bumbling and chaos. We have seen that movie before, and we all know that the sequel is usually worse,” former President Obama told attendees.
“The same old con, doubling down on ugly, misogynistic, racist lies as a substitute for real ideas and solutions that will actually make people’s lives better,” said the former first lady.
CBN News Chief Political Analyst David Brody says frequent appearances by the Obamas on the campaign trail could make all the difference for Harris.
“This was a tag team approach with Michelle Obama and Barack Obama going after Donald Trump, and they went after him strong. And I think that was an extremely effective approach at the convention. I think the key question now going forward is, how much are Michelle and Barack Obama going to be on the campaign trail,” Brody said following Tuesday’s speeches.
