Who’s performing at the DNC tonight? – NBC Chicago

Observe: James Taylor’s deliberate efficiency was canceled by Democratic Nationwide Conference officers Monday night time.

DNC officers launched the next assertion concerning the change of plans:

“Due to the raucous applause interrupting speaker after speaker, we finally skipped parts of our program to make sure we might get to President Biden as rapidly as attainable in order that he might converse on to the American folks. We’re pleased with the electrical ambiance in our conference corridor and proud that our conference is showcasing the broad and numerous coalition behind the Harris-Walz ticket all through the week on and off the stage.”
