Pelosi was the first woman speaker of the House.
After the excitement sparked by the Obamas Tuesday night, Democrats will try to keep to momentum going when vice presidential nominee Tim Walz headlines the third night of speakers.
He'll be joined earlier by another former president -- Bill Clinton -- as well as Nancy Pelosi and Pete Buttigieg.
Jon Polin and Rachel Goldberg, the parents of Hersh Goldberg-Polin -- one of the Israeli-American hostages, got emotional as they took the stage to a huge ovation.
"Bring them home," the crowd chanted.
To those calling for a cease-fire in Gaza and "an end to the loss of innocent lives in Gaza" and to bring the hostages home, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison had a message.
"They're listening, friends. They agree with us," he said.
"They listen, they care, and everyone is included in their circle of compassion," he told the crowd.
The comments come as pro-Palestinian demonstrators have been protesting outside the DNC this week to put pressure on Harris' campaign for a cease-fire.
Ellison was one of the few Muslims to serve in the House before becoming Minnesota attorney general and was one of the chamber's most vocal progressives. He's likely one of the few Democrats with cache within the party who also has appeal to the pro-Palestinian protesters outside, making him a potent messenger for Harris on this issue.
The controversial conservative policy blueprint has become a flashpoint in the 2024 election.
As a result, Trump has tried to put space between his 2024 campaign and the project, despite some of his close advisers and former administration officials being involved in its creation.
"I know nothing about Project 2025," Trump has claimed on social media. "I have no idea who is behind it."
Democrats, however, are intent on tying the policy wishlist to Trump. Speakers this week have decried its proposals on everything from reproductive rights and health care to agency regulation.
