DNC 2024: Here’s every song that was played during the music-themed roll call

The 2024 Democratic National Convention is pulling out all the stops during a celebratory four days which formally mark the end of the primary election period and the start of general election season.

During its second night (August 20) at Chicago’s United Center , the 5,000 delegates representing all 50 states and territories were called on to officially pledge their support to Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as the party’s nominees.

Hosted this year by DNC Secretary Jason Rae, the in-person roll call is primarily a spectacle in which each state and territory’s delegates are called on to verbally cast their votes for Harris and Walz. Rae was joined on stage by DJ Cassidy, who played a mix of various songs behind each speaker as they emphatically pledged their support.

“I had a personal goal here, which was to turn the entire convention into a party,” Cassidy told The New York Times .

It took about a month for Cassidy to work with each state’s delegation to compile the extensive playlist, according to the New York Times. Together, they decided on songs that were meaningful to the state and captured the spirit of “unity and celebration.”
