The 2024 Democratic National Convention resumes Tuesday in Chicago after the first day saw appearances and speeches from the likes of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, basketball coach Steve Kerr and President Joe Biden.

Biden delivered an emotional address, reflecting on his tenure in politics and endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris as the next leader of the Democratic Party.

At one point, as chants of "Thank you, Joe!" broke out on the convention floor in Chicago, Biden told his fellow party members, "Thank you Kamala, too."

Tuesday will also see its fair share of party heavyweights take the stage, with former First Lady Michelle Obama and former President Barack Obama, among others, expected to speak.

Here's a full list of everyone expected to speak at the convention Tuesday evening.
