5. SOUNDBITE (English) Tony Goldwyn, actor/director:
“And then of course, we will hear again from the Democratic nominee herself, the next president of the United States of America, Kamala Harris. (cheers) Because she has a message for us. It is a message that’s joyful, not mean spirited. A message of public service, not self-service. A message of optimism and opportunity, not chaos and division. A message that has woken us up to who we are, to who we’ve always been. Because Americans are not a cynical people. We are not small-minded. And whether we realize it right now or not, we are currently already writing a new chapter of the American Story.”

STORYLINE:
Mickey Guyton sang her 2021 song “All-American” at the Democratic convention, one of many entertainers and pop culture figures on hand Monday in Chicago.
Guyton took the stage alone with a microphone in a white spangled gown and a greeting of “How y’all doing?” before belting the chorus, “Ain’t we all all-American?”
The Texan Guyton has been among country music’s elite in recent years, performing the national anthem at the Super Bowl in 2022, hosting the Academy of Country Music Awards and becoming the first Black woman to be nominated for a Grammy in a country category.
Jason Isbell sang his labor-celebrating “Something More Than Free” on the convention stage.
He ended with a shoutout to the delegation from his native Alabama.
The 45-year-old singer and sometime actor is known for speaking out about liberal causes, and his willingness to spar with commenters, on social media.
Tony Goldwyn, who played the president on "Scandal" opposite Kerry Washington, acted as "host" for the night.
United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain referenced the rapper Nelly, saying “It’s getting hot in here, folks,” before removing his suit jacket to show a T-shirt that read, “Trump is a scab. Vote Harris.”
And Golden State Warriors and Team USA coach Steve Kerr received loud cheers when he made an appearance on the stage, saying voters should say "night night" to Donald Trump in November in a reference to Warriors star Steph Curry’s end-of-game gesture.
