On Day 2 of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, California Gov. Gavin Newsom delivered the state's delegate votes to Vice President Kamala Harris, officially making her the party's presidential nominee. Newsom was surrounded by members of the state's delegation, which included House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Maxine Waters. "Kamala Harris has always done the right thing," Newsom said. "A champion for voting rights, civil rights, LGBTQ rights, the rights for women and girls. So, Democrats and Independents, it's time for us to do the right thing and make Kamala Harris the next president of the United States of America." While Newsom was participating in the traditional roll call, DJ Cassidy at the convention stage was playing notable hip-hop songs representing the Golden State in the background. |
