DNC night 2, emerging and longtime party leaders speak Tuesday

DNC night 2, emerging and longtime party leaders speak Tuesday. Following a first night of programming focused on unity -- featuring a handful of Republican speakers and former first lady Michelle Obama -- Democrats continued their mostly virtual convention in Milwaukee Tuesday under the theme of "Leadership Matters" with primetime speeches from both the party's more established leaders and its younger stars. "We'll hear from the leaders and the experts, the veterans and the activists, all those who seek to unite and not divide, and who step up -- not back down -- from a fight over what's right," the Democratic National Convention Committee said in a news release. The message Biden wanted to convey on the second day of the Democratic National Convention is that he doesn't intend to govern -- or seek to defeat President Donald Trump -- on his own. The messaging was implicit in the selection of 17 "rising star" Democrats to replace a traditional keynote address. It was reinforced by Biden's wife, who struck a poignant note in closing out the evening. "The heart of this nation still beats with kindness and courage," Jill Biden said from a classroom in Delaware. "That's the soul of America Joe Biden is fighting for now." The message was made more visual with the unusual but striking roll-call vote that took viewers to 57 states and territories to make Biden's nomination official. From farms to beaches to small businesses to an already-Internet-famous plate of calamari, mundane convention business became an uplifting virtual road tour for a cooped-up nation. The convention turned more serious quickly. Biden's reliance on and appeal to the concept of team governance was explicit in the testimonials offered by a wide range of Democrats and Republicans -- former presidents and secretaries of state on down to local elected officials.
