What to Watch on the Second Night

Good evening from Philadelphia, where Hillary Clinton has just been crowned as the Democratic presidential nominee—the first woman to earn the title. After a morning of behind-the-scenes wrangling over the process, Sen. Barbara Mikulski, U.S. Rep. John Lewis, and Na’ilah Amaru, a campaign contest winner, officially entered Clinton’s name into nomination. (Clinton aides held out hope they could convince Sanders to do it himself.) In an orchestrated dance, Vermont passed when its position came up in the roll call of states, moving it to the back of the line. When it came up again, the state moved to nominate Clinton by acclamation, both allowing all votes to be counted and putting party unity on display. Kaine’s nomination for the vice presidency also sailed through by voice vote.

Tuesday night’s program is designed around the theme “Fights of Her Life,” featuring an litany of activists, celebrities, and average Americans who will speak to Clinton’s personal side. “She is the most-famous, least-known person in the country,” Clinton campaign communications director Jennifer Palmieri said Tuesday, repeating an oft-used phrase in Clinton-land. Actress Elizabeth Banks will serve as the host of much of the evening, while Tony Goldwyn, America Fererra and Lena Dunham will speak, as will Meryl Streep, who is introducing a bio video about Clinton set to air after former President Bill Clinton’s keynote address. Also on the lineup were the Mothers of the Movement, the mothers whose unarmed African-American children have been killed by police or other gun violence and others who have been impacted by Clinton’s work.
