What is the theme for day 2 of the congress?
The convention’s theme is “For the People, For Our Future” and the focus will be on moving the country forward and building on the work of the Biden administration.
According to convention organizers, the theme of Tuesday’s events is “A Bold Vision for America’s Future,” a clear shift toward a new generation of Democrats and their leadership. After a Monday night that briefly touched on Harris’ possibilities but also honored Biden’s legacy and decades of accomplishments, convention organizers now appear ready to move on to the next leg of their journey.
In unveiling their plans for the week, convention organizers on Tuesday night described it as a way to contrast Harris’ forward-looking strategy with Trump’s less positive view of America’s future.
As on Monday, the Democrats plan to bring “ordinary Americans” and some artists to the stage each evening in addition to elected officials and party leaders.
The daily topics are:
Monday – “For the people”
Tuesday – “A bold vision for America’s future”
Wednesday – “A fight for our freedoms”
Thursday – “For our future”
