Kamala Harris officially became the Democratic vice presidential nominee on Wednesday night, and stepped up to the occasion with the speech of her life—despite the lack of a live audience and having to follow former President Barack Obama giving perhaps the speech of his life.

The main hour of programming begins at 10 PM ET. You can watch the DNC online at this portal.
