Each weekday, Dana Bash and a panel of well-sourced reporters bring you the most important political stories of the day. On the weekend, Manu Raju kicks off CNN's Sunday morning political programming with Inside Politics Sunday. Dana and Manu get answers from the people making headlines, explain the political that stories matter, and report on how the news will impact you.
Dana's back at Chicago's United Center to bring you live coverage of day four of the Democratic National Convention, which will culminate with a historic moment as Kamala Harris becomes the first Vlack woman and first Asian American to lead a major party's ticket. It will no doubt be the biggest audience she's ever spoken to, and comes just 32 days into her unexpected campaign.
It's day three of the Democratic National Convention and Dana once again is in Chicago's United Center, where tonight Kamala Harris' running mate Tim Walz will take center stage. Also scheduled to speak are party elders like Bill Clinton and Nancy Pelosi, along with the next generation of Democratic leaders such as Pete Buttigieg, Josh Shapiro, Amy Klobuchar, and Wes Moore. They all have an incredibly tough act to follow after Barack and Michelle Obama, two of the biggest political stars and best speakers, made impassioned pleas for Kamala Harris to a roaring crowd in their hometown.
Barack and Michelle Obama will be tonight's featured speakers at the Democratic National Convention. They're expected to underscore just how high the stakes are heading into November. Also scheduled to speak is Doug Emhoff, who hopes to become the country's first "First Gentleman." And in what may be a first, Donald Trump's former Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham will speak in support of the woman trying to defeat the man she once worked for.
Dana reports live from the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, which kicks off tonight. And what viewers will see in the 20,000+-capacity United Center will be radically different than what was imagined just a month ago. Plus, CNN's latest poll of polls shows the vice president two points ahead of Donald Trump.
