What happened at the convention last night?

Jill Biden closed the night with a speech from a Delaware high school classroom that connected the struggles students and parents face now with her husband's resolve in the face of personal tragedy. She never mentioned President Donald Trump, but her speech offered a clear contrast between Trump and her husband.

Biden officially became the Democratic Party's nominee. The roll call vote on Biden's nomination was taken, and votes were cast in short videos from spots in all 57 states and territories that told stories.

The night opened with a 17-person "keynote" speech, interspersing clips of a diverse set of the party's rising stars into a coherent message.

Tuesday night's most notable Republican presence was Cindy McCain, the widow of 2008 Republican nominee John McCain. Cindy McCain did not endorse Biden explicitly, but her participation in a video that heralded the friendship between the former vice president and Arizona senator spoke volumes.

A security guard who works at The New York Times gave the first nominating speech, after going viral in a video blurting out "I love you" to Biden in an elevator.

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell, who served in Republican President George W. Bush's administration, endorsed Biden, arguing that the country needs to "restore" the values he believes America stands for and that Trump doesn't represent.

New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and activist Ady Barkan spoke about a country in moral crisis, millions of its citizens going without health care in the midst of a pandemic.

Former Secretary of State John Kerry, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and former President Bill Clinton lamented the damage done by Trump, and urged voters to turn back the clock and embrace Biden's basic decency.

Who is speaking tomorrow at the convention?

Democratic presidential nominee and former Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Sen. Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin, Sen. Tammy Duckworth of Illinois, Sen. Chris Coons of Delaware and the Biden family. Actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus will emcee.

The Democratic National Convention Committee said additional speakers would be announced.

Where will Joe Biden accept the nomination on Thursday?

Biden will not accept the Democratic presidential nomination in Milwaukee, the original site of the convention, because of concerns caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Instead, Biden and Harris will deliver their convention speeches from the Chase Center in Biden's hometown of Wilmington, Delaware, spokesman Michael Gwin confirmed to CNN.
