The third day of the 2024 Democratic National Convention in Chicago will be headlined by a speech by Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who is expected to accept Vice President Kamala Harris’s nomination as vice presidential candidate for the upcoming election, but he will also be joined on stage by a number of notable figures throughout the evening.

The third day of the convention follows a remarkable evening on Tuesday that saw some of the biggest names in the Democratic Party take the stage, including former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama, and featured a musical roll call that marked a unique moment in convention history.

Here is an overview of who we know is speaking so far and when:

When does the DNC start on Wednesday?

The “main program” is scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, a further delay from the originally planned start time of 6 p.m. Organizers announced Tuesday that the start times had been changed to “ensure we stay on schedule.”

Organizers warned that there could be possible schedule changes after Monday’s event underwent “real-time adjustments” and some speeches and performances, including one by James Taylor, had to be canceled to accommodate President Joe Biden’s highly anticipated speech.

On Tuesday, Obama’s speech was the last of the evening, and although the gavel was scheduled for 10:15 p.m., the speech lasted beyond 10:30 p.m.

Schedule and speakers for Day 3 of the DNC

The full speaker list and schedule for Day 3 have not yet been released, but in addition to keynote speeches from former President Bill Clinton and vice presidential candidate Tim Walz, the third night of the convention will feature some of the party’s biggest names and likely future leaders.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York will deliver speeches, as will high-profile senators: Cory Booker of New Jersey, Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada, Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and Chris Murphy of Connecticut.

Also speaking at the convention will be Maryland Governor Wes Moore and Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, who was a finalist for Harris’ running mate. Both are considered rising forces in Democratic politics.

The list again includes several Republican speakers, including former President Donald Trump’s White House aide Olivia Troye, a former national security official, and former Georgia Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan.

To highlight the theme of the evening, the fight for freedom, Mini Timmaraju, President and CEO of the non-profit organization “Reproductive Freedom for All,” will give a speech.

As for the focus of some of the key speeches, DNC Director Alex Hornbrook said Clinton wanted to “underscore the importance of this moment and this election, not just for our party, but for the future of our country.”

Walz will “introduce himself to the American people tonight on the convention stage,” Hornbrook said Wednesday, adding that the vice presidential candidate will “highlight the small-town values ​​that have shaped his life and his commitment to preserving the freedoms we hold dear.”

Since Harris announced her choice, the campaign has been trying to introduce the country to the 60-year-old governor and self-proclaimed “Midwest Dad.” At the same time, Republicans are trying to undermine Walz by questioning his biography and resurfacing some of his previous imprecise language and misstatements by him or his staff.

How to watch Day 3 of the DNC

What is the theme of the third day of the congress?

The convention’s theme is “For the People, For Our Future” and the focus will be on moving the country forward and building on the work of the Biden administration.

According to the organizers, the theme for Wednesday is “A fight for our freedoms.”

“Tonight’s theme, ‘Fighting for Our Freedoms,’ will showcase how Vice President Harris has dedicated her entire career to fighting for America’s freedoms and why she chose Governor Walz as her running mate, including his record as a champion of the rights of America’s working families and a staunch defender of our fundamental freedoms,” Hornbrook said.

The daily topics are:

Monday – “For the people”

Tuesday – “A bold vision for America’s future”

Wednesday – “A fight for our freedoms”
