The third night of the Democratic National Convention continued the themes of joy and freedom.

Milwaukee Mayor Chevy Johnson has taken to the stage.
He made headlines in June after former President Donald Trump reportedly called Milwaukee "horrible" in a closed-door meeting weeks before the city hosted the Republican National Convention.
"Donald Trump was talking about things that he thinks are horrible. All of us lived through his presidency. So, right back at you, buddy," Johnson said in response during a news conference at the time.
Asked at the time what he meant by the reported "horrible city" comment, Trump told Fox News he was referring to crime in Milwaukee and the 2020 election.
Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval has taken the stage. He is Cincinnati's first Asian American mayor and, like Harris, has a parent who immigrated to the U.S. from India.
New York Rep. Tom Suozzi, who flipped a Long Island seat this winter, reiterated his message on the campaign trail about the need to solve the nation's migrant issue.
