The 2024 Democratic National Convention is set to kick off in Chicago, promising to be a celebratory event unlike any other. After Vice President Kamala Harris officially won the Democratic presidential nomination in an online vote, party leaders are gearing up for a ceremonial roll call that will take place during the convention.

The convention will feature state delegations gathering on Tuesday to cast symbolic votes in a celebratory roll call. While the official nomination of Harris took place earlier in August, this event will be a chance for delegates to come together in person and mark the occasion with flair and festivity.

Here’s what you can expect from the celebratory roll call:

– Delegates will cast their symbolic votes in a session presided over by the convention secretary, following a modified order of voting that symbolizes the passing of the torch from President Joe Biden to Harris and the next generation of Democratic leadership.

– Each state delegation will present their votes accompanied by a song that represents their state, adding an extra touch of excitement and energy to the proceedings.

– The roll call vote will culminate with the home states of both Vice Presidential nominee Tim Walz and Harris.

– While the outcome of the roll call is predetermined, the event will provide a platform for delegates to express their support for the nominees and showcase their state pride in true convention style.

Don’t miss this historic moment as Democrats come together to celebrate the nomination of the first woman of color to lead a major party presidential ticket. Stay tuned for updates on the convention proceedings and the acceptance speeches by Harris and Walz as they take the spotlight in this momentous event.
