Democratic National Convention Features Musical Roll Call

The 2024 Democratic National Convention (DNC) introduced a festive twist to its roll call voting, transforming the event into a lively dance party featuring DJ Cassidy, who curated a playlist highlighting songs from each state. This first-time musical feature accompanied the verbal voting process where all 57 delegations pledged their support for Vice President Kamala Harris. Notable performances included Lil Jon energizing the Georgia delegation, while songs like Eminem's 'Lose Yourself' and Tupac's 'California Love' resonated through the venue. The event, held in Chicago, also included a high-energy speech from former President Barack Obama, addressing key issues like abortion rights and the importance of unity. DJ Cassidy, known for his previous work at high-profile events, emphasized the roll call's significance in giving a voice to each state. The DNC's innovative approach drew praise online, with many expressing it as a significant contrast to the Republican National Convention's more traditional format.
