Walz is expected to discuss fighting for freedoms and highlight his efforts to protect rights and expand access to voting during his tenure as governor.
Other speakers on Wednesday include top Democrats like Nancy Pelosi, Hakeem Jeffries, Cory Booker, Amy Klobuchar, Pete Buttigieg, Wes Moore, and Josh Shapiro. The full line-up of speakers for the convention has not been released, but Vice-president Kamala Harris will close out the fourth night of the convention. Previous speakers like Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and the Obamas have endorsed Harris and emphasized the need for change and unity in the upcoming election.
