Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota at a rally in Milwaukee on Tuesday.
As is traditional for the third night of a political convention, the headlining speaker of the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday will be the vice-presidential nominee, Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota.
But a full lineup of other speakers will take the stage before Mr. Walz does at the end of the night. They include the former House speaker Nancy Pelosi; the current House minority leader, Hakeem Jeffries; several senators and governors; and former President Bill Clinton.
Watchers will also hear from some people who aren’t famous or serving in official capacities, but who can speak on topics that the Harris-Walz campaign wants to emphasize. At least two Republicans who have turned against former President Donald J. Trump are also set to take the stage.
