EXCLUSIVE: As delegates are holding a ceremonial roll call to nominate Kamala Harris — perhaps the first with a DJ’s soundtrack — the vice president will be giving a speech in Milwaukee.
Expect a split screen moment, including Harris beamed into the United Center from the must-win Badger State, according to a source in the campaign. Networks also are expected to provide some coverage of Harris’ address.
In the United Center, each seat was fitted with blinking lights as each state was called. Harris was officially nominated in a virtual roll call earlier this month, so this is ceremonial. Producers instead staged a much more jamming proceeding, with celebrities such as Sean Astin announcing the votes for Indiana and Wendell Pierce for Louisiana. When Georgia announced its vote, Lil Jon made a surprise performance in the aisles.
With some Dr. Dre likely, California, Harris’ home state, is expected to put Harris over the top, with Governor Gavin Newsom announcing the tally.
