Scions, Spouses, and Dick Jokes, Oh My: Day 2 of the Democratic Convention CHICAGO—Another night at the Democratic National Convention, another joyous affair. "DJ Cassidy" pumped out jams during the ceremonial roll call vote, which featured a guest appearance by the
rapper Lil Jon, who led the Georgia delegation in chants of "from the Harris to the Walz." The United Center crowd was high on vibes, or something. Even John Edwards, the disgraced former VP candidate who cheated on his cancer-stricken wife during the 2008 campaign, felt comfortable enough to roam the halls and schmooze with delegates. Bill Clinton will address the convention on Wednesday.
An array of characters graced the stage on Tuesday. Bernie Sanders, the socialist senator, gave his standard speech about universal health care and the badness of billionaires. He outlined policy positions Kamala Harris once held during the 2020 primary but has since abandoned via vague statements from anonymous aides. The socialist was followed by Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D., Ill.), the Hyatt hotel scion, who bragged about being an "actual billionaire" while attacking Donald Trump. The billionaire was followed by Ken Chenault, the venture capitalist and former CEO of American Express, who droned on to a bored audience about the "market-based economy." (Take that, Bernie.)
Edwards wasn't the only cheating husband making moves. Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, who admitted to "some tough times" in his first marriage after getting his nanny pregnant, spoke eloquently about how "Kamala became Mamala" to his children and joined forces with him and his ex-wife to form a "three-headed parenting monster." You had to be there, but it was very poignant. Emhoff's alternative model daughter, Ella, held up a "Doug" sign and exuded joy one night after she earned rave media reviews for wearing a camouflage hat.
