    The third day of the 2024 Democratic National Convention begins Wednesday in Chicago after Day 2 saw appearances and speeches by the likes of former President Barack Obama , former first lady Michelle Obama , Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and second gentleman Doug Emhoff, among others.

    Other Democratic heavyweights, such as former President Bill Clinton , are also expected to speak at the convention, all leading up to Vice President Kamala Harris accepting the party's presidential nomination on Thursday night.

    The convention comes after a whirlwind few months for Democrats since Biden's disastrous debate performance against former President Donald Trump on June 27. Biden has since decided not to seek reelection and endorsed Harris as the nominee.
