Tim Walz: “Big party” in Milwaukee while DNC takes place in Chicago
Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz spoke to a crowd in Milwaukee during the second night of the 2024 Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz will kick off the penultimate night of the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday by officially accepting the party’s nomination for vice president.
The acceptance came less than a month after Walz was first nominated as Harris’s running mate, but the governor has spent that time campaigning in swing states across the country, including Tuesday night in Milwaukee at the campaign’s largest rally yet.
Walz’s wife, Gwen, and two children, Hope and Gus, are expected to watch his speech from the convention hall.
Here’s what we know about when Walz will speak and who will take the stage before him in Chicago.
When does Tim Walz speak on Wednesday?
DNC organizers have not yet released an official schedule for the evening, but Walz will take the stage at the end of the evening as the headliner of Wednesday’s convention.
That means he’ll likely speak around 10 p.m. CT. Last night’s headliner, former President Barack Obama, took the stage a few minutes after 10 p.m.
This section will be updated when the DNC releases an official list of speakers.
When does the DNC start on Wednesday?
The program at the United Center is scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m. CT on Wednesday.
Who will speak at the DNC in Chicago on Wednesday night?
Speakers at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday include former President Bill Clinton and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Traffic safety expert Pete Buttigieg is also expected to speak at the DNC.
