Obama also said Harris and vice presidential nominee Tim Walz "believe that we are all created equal, that we are all endowed with inalienable rights, that everyone deserves a chance, and that even when we disagree with each other, we can find a way to live together." The second day of the con ference also included speeches by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Harris' husband Doug Emhoff, senior Senator Bernie Sanders, and other Democratic officials, some of whom represent states considered crucial to the presidential race.
