Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and former second lady Dr. Jill Biden are set to speak at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) on Tuesday night.
They follow a raft of speakers who spoke as part of the Democratic National Convention, being broadcast digitally, on Monday—with the first day having seen speeches from former first lady Michelle Obama and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden's former rival to become the Democratic presidential nominee.
