Democrats convened for night two of their convention in Chicago on Tuesday, featuring the Obama family, Sen. Bernie Sanders, second gentleman Doug Emhoff, and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker.

Americans can hope to be enlightened by the theme of the night, “A Bold Vision for America’s Future,” as Democratic nominee Kamala Harris has said little about her policy platform. The Harris campaign website lacks a policy position section, and the vice president has declined interviews with the media.

DNC night one included speeches from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and President Joe Biden. Follow for live updates as the Democratic National Convention continues. (All times are Eastern Standard Time)

8:52 p.m.: A woman from Texas said an abortion ban forced her to travel across state lines to end her pregnancy, though every state in America allows doctors to perform abortions if necessary to save the life of the mother. 

“There’s nothing pro-family about abortion bans,” Kate Cox said. “There’s nothing pro-life about letting women suffer and even die.” 

Cox said an abortion enabled her to get pregnant again later.

A fellow Texan, former Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards introduced Cox.

8:50 p.m.: U.S. territories pledged their support to Kamala Harris.

Delegates from the Northern Mariana Islands said the climate is more important than partisan politics. 

“The Earth is not red or blue,” the delegate said. “The Earth is sick and we must protect it.”

Democrat delegates from Puerto Rico declared their island will be “the next state of the United States.” 

8:05  p.m.: Delegates started submitting their votes to name Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee. 

Harris officially won the Democratic presidential nomination nearly two weeks ago in an online vote, so the Tuesday roll call is purely ceremonial.
