FYI Milwaukee rally is overflowing with big crowds... you can watch on MSNBC YouTube channel live stream. I think KH will take the stage after this roll call is done in Chicago.

Watching on c-span right now (on a computer) which is one of the best ways to watch with very few ads (just a few in the beginning). Watching the roll-call of the delegates right now. Does anyone in the crew know why California passed on nominating Kamala-Waltz?

I’ve just started watching and Minnesota passed as well. I’m not sure why it’s ceremonial. Perplexed 🤔

I think they go last since they are the home states of the presidential and vice presidential candidates!

I don't have cable, but I watched all the highlights on You Tube.

It felt good to be excited again!

You can actually watch the entire thing on YouTube for free. The DNC is streaming it on, like, every platform imaginable.

I'll be in the chat tonight! It was heart-wrenching listening to the brave women relating their post-Roe horror stories last night. And so necessary.
