Watch Live: DNC Night 2 with Obama, Bernie Sanders set to speak
CBSN
The second night of the Democratic National Convention is getting underway Tuesday evening, with former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama set to address delegates in their hometown of Chicago.
Barack Obama's speech comes 20 years after he delivered the keynote address to the 2004 DNC in Boston, a performance that rocketed him to nationwide fame and, four years later, the party's presidential nomination. On Tuesday, he will make the case for Vice President Kamala Harris, who was an early supporter of his insurgent 2008 bid.
Tuesday's session will also feature speeches from Sen. Bernie Sanders, the independent from Vermont who ran for the presidency himself in 2016, and second gentleman Doug Emhoff. Prominent Republican critics of former President Donald Trump will also get their turn on stage, including Stephanie Grisham, Trump's former White House press secretary who has since become an outspoken detractor.
