DNC 2024 Day 2: 'Yes, she can': Obama endorses Harris, blasts Trump

Several people were arrested at an unauthorized pro-Palestinian protest in downtown Chicago outside the Israeli Consulate on the second night of the DNC.

Protesters with Behind Enemy Lines gathered for speeches and a rally near the Ogilvie Transportation Center. A line of police kept them curtailed to about a block as they rallied but then they attempted to march south onto Clinton where they were confronted with a line of police.

Some shoving ensued and several people were taken into custody. While a line of police in riot gear were deployed others were seen leaving the scene and the tension seemed to be diffused fairly quickly.

The group's rally continues as of 7:50 p.m.

Harris addressed the DNC crowd from a rally in Milwaukee and thanked the delegates for nominating her as the Democratic presidential nominee.

California, Harris' home state, delivered the delegates to send Harris over the top during the ceremonial roll call.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom delivered the final delegates to make Bay Area native and Vice President Kamala Harris the Democratic presidential nominee ceremonially.

Gov. Gavin Newsom announced that the state is casting its 482 votes for Harris, whom he called a "bright star" whose star has gotten even brighter as she served as the state's attorney general, a U.S. senator and now as vice president.

"Kamala Harris has always done the right thing, a champion for voting rights, civil rights, LGBTQ rights," Newsom said. "It's time for us to do the right thing -- and that is to elect Kamala Harris as the next president of the United States of America."

Harris is already officially the nominee after the DNC held a virtual roll call earlier this month. Still, the symbolism, and the relationship between Newsom and Harris, is significant.

The lively ceremonial roll call has so far featured some surprise cameos alongside more expected political leaders from their respective states.

Standing along the Indiana delegates was actor Sean Astin of "The Goonies" fame, while Louisiana native Wendell Pierce, an actor known for "The Wire," joined his state's delegates as they cast their votes for Harris.

The crowd was also treated to a surprise appearance by Lil Jon when Georgia delegates cast their votes.
