DNC unveils daily themes for four-day convention in Chicago: 'For the People, For Our Future'
The themes of each of the four nights of the Democratic National Convention were released Sunday morning. The convention's overall theme, “For the People, For Our Future," is meant to signal how Vice President Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz plan to "fight for people, our freedoms, and our future" as the presidential and vice presidential nominees, DNC officials said.
The themes for each night are as follows:
Monday, August 19: For the People – "While Donald Trump puts himself first, Democrats are fighting for the American people. President Biden has exemplified this through his leadership and legacy as a historic president who put the American people’s interest above his own," the DNC said. "The accomplishments and results President Biden delivered for people, with Vice President Harris by his side, will be on full display during the convention, as will Kamala Harris’s commitment to fighting on behalf of everyday Americans. At its core, the Harris-Walz ticket is a ticket for the people."
Tuesday, August 20: A Bold Vision for America’s Future – "This race isn’t just a choice between two candidates. It’s a choice between two very different visions of America," the DNC said. "While Donald Trump believes our best days are behind us, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz know the best days lie ahead. Standing in stark contrast to the Trump-Vance Project 2025 agenda designed to take us backwards, the Harris-Walz ticket presents a brighter vision where everyone will have a chance not just to get by, but to get ahead."
Wednesday, August 21: A Fight for Our Freedoms – "Vice President Harris has spent her entire career fighting for Americans’ freedoms," the DNC said. "In Governor Tim Walz, Vice President Harris chose as her running mate a champion for America’s working families and a staunch defender of those same fundamental freedoms. Donald Trump spent his four years in office fighting to strip our rights away, and he’s once again running on an extreme agenda to go even farther in turning back the clock on all the freedoms we hold dear."
Thursday, August 22: For Our Future – "America can’t afford to put Donald Trump back in the White House — because a second Trump term would be even more dangerous and more extreme than the first one," according to DNC officials. "But the choice we face in November isn’t just about us versus Donald Trump. This election is a fight for the future. Vice President Harris and Governor Walz will lead America into a brighter, more hopeful era."
Convention programming will air live from the United Center in Chicago between 6:15-11p.m. ET/5:15-10p.m CT on Monday, and 7-11 p.m. ET/6-10 p.m. CT for all other days.
