In the weeks after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race, Walz quickly rose to the top of Harris’ VP shortlist with his plain-spoken media interviews and affable Midwest demeanor. Many expect him to play to those communication strengths during his Wednesday night keynote speech.

Walz is the final speaker on a list crowded with Democratic heavyweights like former President Bill Clinton and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The agenda also features rising stars in the party like Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who was a contender to be Harris’ running mate.

The evening will be emceed in part by actor and producer Mindy Kaling, and feature musical performances by John Legend and other special guests.
