Convention delegates will nominate Harris, again. This time, there’s less suspense and more pizzazz

October 21, 2024

Convention organizers have indicated the ceremonial vote will follow the general format of past in-person convention roll calls, with some stylistic flourishes. Normally, the vice presidential nominee is officially chosen by delegates through a separate procedure, often on a different day of the convention. The same procedure was used to nominate Harris as the vice presidential nominee at the 2020 convention. Harris and Walz became the Democratic presidential and vice presidential nominees Aug. 6. For decades, the Democratic vice presidential nominee addressed the convention on the final night, just before the presidential nominee.
