4. SOUNDBITE (English) Quentin Fulks, principal deputy campaign manager for Harris-Walz:
"This is not an exhaustive list, but to name a few voices for tonight, we’ll have UAW President Shawn Fain. We’ll have Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, Congressman Jamie Raskin, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, who is also a campaign co-chair. Congresswoman Grace Meng, the men and women that have been subjected to cruel and dangerous abortion bans under Donald Trump."

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Alex Hornbrook, Democratic National Convention Executive Director:
"And we’ll also be honoring, of course, President Joe Biden. We would not be here without him. His historic record of accomplishment with Vice President Harris by his side is unmatched by any presidential administration in in modern history. And it’s going to be our honor to spotlight and showcase the commitment, excuse me, the accomplishments of the Biden-Harris administration, as well as the bold vision for the future that Kamala Harris, Tim Waltz, and Democrats up and down the ticket will be fighting for this November."
6. Cutaway of room
7. SOUNDBITE (English) Cedric Richmond, former U.S Representative in Louisiana and a Biden advisor
"And I think it’s important for him (Biden) to answer those age old questions of what have you done for me lately? Why bother to actually go out and vote? And so he has to remind people of the successes that the Biden-Harris agenda had."
8. Cutaway of room
9. SOUNDBITE (English) Cedric Richmond, former U.S Representative in Louisiana and a Biden advisor.
"The last thing I’ll say about the president and what he will say tonight and what he will show tonight is one of my favorite quotes about politics: ‘Politicians worry about the next election. Statesmen worry about the next generation.’ And it was a statesman who came off the sideline four years ago to beat the worst president in the history of the United States. Person who posed the biggest threat to the United States. And as a statesman who passed and who will pass the baton on to Vice President Kamala Harris to continue to put this country first."

STORYLINE:
On day one of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, organizers of the event say viewers will hear from “everyday people” as well as a slate of elected officials, including a headlining appearance by President Joe Biden that will serve as a celebration of his record in office.

Among the speakers: United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain; Hillary Clinton; Reps. Grace Meng, Jamie Raskin and Jasmine Crockett; as well as Sens. Chris Coons and Raphael Warnock; and Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear.

Much of the programing will focus on Biden’s record of achievements during his time in the White House, which includes passing major pieces of legislation that included policies Democrats had dreamed of enacting for a generation.

“I think it’s important for him to answer those age-old questions: what have you done for me lately and why bother to go out and vote?” said former Louisiana Rep. Cedric Richmond, a Biden advisor.

“Politicians worry about the next election. Statesmen worry about the next generation,” said Richmond, who called Biden “a statesman who will pass the baton on to Kamala Harris to continue to put the next generation first.”
