1:16:07Now PlayingDelegates cast their ceremonial votes for Vice President Kamala Harris to be the Democratic nominee for president at the party’s national convention in Chicago on Tuesday. As DJ Cassidy spun records for every state and U.S. territory, delegates spoke about why they were there, what is special about their homes and why they were supporting Harris. Rapper Lil Jon, actors Wendell Pierce and Sean Astin, and a number of leading Democratic lawmakers made appearances.
Minnesota and California, home states of Harris and Gov. Tim Walz, were the last to cast their votes.
Tuesday’s roll call was a repeat of an online event in early August, when Harris became the official nominee. The DNC called the ceremonial vote a “celebratory roll call.”
Later in the week, Harris and Walz will formally accept their nominations as the party’s candidates.
