Former President Barack Obama, former First Lady Michelle Obama and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff are among the prominent Democrats who plan to speak at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago Tuesday night.

The second night of the convention is billed as a moment for the Democratic party to look forward into the future, after a chaotic summer that culminated in President Joe Biden stepping aside and endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris for president.

Tuesday's theme is "A Bold Vision for America's Future."
