What to watch for on Day 3 of the Democratic National Convention

The theme of the night is “a more perfect union,” and the many of the segments will highlight Democratic policy objectives, reducing gun violence, tackling climate change and immigration reform with a path to citizenship. 

As is typically the case at party conventions, the star power Wednesday will outshine that of the previous two nights, with actress Kerry Washington emceeing the night, and performances from Billie Eilish and Jennifer Hudson.

Three powerful women who have emerged in recent years as President Donald Trump’s toughest critics will also take the stage tonight: Former secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Expect them to pull no punches when it comes to the commander-in-chief. 

“As Speaker, I’ve seen firsthand Donald Trump’s disrespect for facts, for working families, and for women in particular – disrespect written into his policies toward our health and our rights, not just his conduct,” Pelosi will say. “But we know what he doesn’t: that when women succeed, America succeeds.”

Yet all eyes will be on Harris and Obama, who in addition to being powerful speakers, also happen to be two of the most popular Democratic politicians in the country.
