Tim Walz will seek to build on the intense enthusiasm surrounding his and Kamala Harris’s campaign on Wednesday, as the newly anointed vice-presidential nominee headlines the third night of the Democratic national convention in Chicago.

Wednesday’s programming will also include some of the best-known names in the Democratic party, including the former president Bill Clinton and the former House speaker Nancy Pelosi. Top congressional Democrats like Hakeem Jeffries, House minority leader; Cory Booker, senator of New Jersey and Amy Klobuchar, senator of Minnesota, are slated to speak as well. And some of the party’s biggest rising stars – including the US transportation secretary, Pete Buttigieg, Maryland governor, Wes Moore, and Pennsylvania governor, Josh Shapiro – will address the convention.
