The 2020 Democratic National Convention will make history on Wednesday night when Kamala Harris formally receives the nomination to be the next Vice President of the United States.

Harris is now the third female vice presidential candidate of a major party in U.S. history, following in the footsteps of Sarah Palin (2008) and Geraldine Ferraro (1984). She is also the first Black woman and the first woman of South Asian descent on a major-party ticket for national office.

In addition to Harris’ official nomination, Wednesday’s virtual event will feature speeches by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, former Secretary of State (and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee) Hillary Clinton, Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Gov. Tony Evers of Wisconsin, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham of New Mexico, former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona, and former President Barack Obama.

Night 3 will also feature an introduction by eight-time Emmy nominee Kerry Washington (Scandal, Little Fires Everywhere), and performances by Billie Eilish and Jennifer Hudson. The festivities will begin at 9 pm ET.
