The uncommitted delegates angry about Gaza policy who have been protesting outside have now entered the floor – clearly visible with their black and white keffiyehs.
As they walked past the Nevada delegation, most people appeared to be ignoring them.
Quite a few people didn’t seem to notice them. They’ve now moved towards the centre of the room – where I lost sight of them.
Vice-President Kamala Harris will give the most consequential speech of her political career tonight while also celebrating her 10th wedding anniversary.
Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff first revealed the couple’s wedding date in his speech earlier this week, and has shared a series of post across his social media accounts celebrating their decade of marriage.
“Ten years of marriage, forever to go. Happy anniversary, @VP. I love you,” he posted on social media, along with a video compilation of photos of the pair.
While the fourth night of the DNC is underway, we’re getting a behind-the-scenes peak at what US President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden are up to.
Biden shared , externalan image of him, and his wife, calling Harris to wish her good luck.
“Jill and I just spoke to [Harris] — we can’t wait to watch her accept this historic nomination,” Biden wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “Kamala and Tim will inspire a generation and lead us into the future.”
I’ve just met up with another lawmaker, Nevada Democratic Representative Susie Lee.
Lee – whose district includes part of Las Vegas, as well as Henderson and Boulder City – says she believes the election will be extremely competitive, particularly in the swing state of Nevada.
“It’s not at all in the bag,” she says.
Some precincts in Nevada, she explains, are decided by as little as 50 to 100 votes, meaning that mobilising every available voter will be key to maintaining the party’s momentum going forward.
“Just think about all the doors you’ve got to knock, and phone calls you’ve got to make. Clearly, we have to get people engaged and out to the polls,” she adds.
“But I’ll tell you – I do think people are exhausted with Donald Trump. There’s’ a clear choice between Harris and Trump. I think people see it.”
Our celebrity host is now being joined by Kamala Harris’s two great nieces to teach the crowd how to pronounce the vice-president’s name.
Trump and some Republicans have repeatedly pronounced Harris’s name wrong.
“Confusion is understandable,” Washington says. “Disrespect is not.”
Washington and the two young girls do a call and response with the audience using Kamala’s name.
