DNC 2024 Day 2: 'Yes, she can': Obama endorses Harris, blasts Trump

The future of reproductive rights was again a strong topic at the convention with several speakers discussing their personal struggles with having children or finding an abortion.

Illinois Sen. Tammy Duckworth, expressed anger at Trump, Vance and Republicans over their proposals to limit fertility options and ban abortions.

"I take it personally when a five-time draft-dodging coward like Donald Trump tries to take away my rights and freedoms in return -- especially when it concerns my daughters," she said.

Duckworth a veteran and double amputee, was candid about IVF treatments used to conceive her daughters.

"My struggle with infertility was more painful than any wound I earned on the battlefield," she said.

Following roaring and upbeat moments during the roll call, the mood at the United Center became more subdued as several speakers, including Sens. Chuck Schumer and Bernie Sanders and Govs. J.B. Pritzker and Michelle Lujan Grisham.

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker took jabs at Trump over the former president's frequent attacks about Chicago.

"To quote a great Chicagoan who won six world championships on these very grounds, 'We take that personally,'" the governor said paraphrasing a viral Michael Jordan quote.

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker delivered an impassioned speech at the DNC, hitting Trump for his past comments on Chicago and pledging his full support for Kamala Harris for preside

Pritzker touted the state's economic policies that he said brought jobs and helped working-class residents, such as eliminating a grocery tax and investing in green jobs.

"More than anything, Democrats want economic policies that are kind, not cruel. But Trump chooses cruelty every time," he said.

Pritzker is a rising star in the party who has tapped into his vast personal wealth to support Democratic causes. He was once among the list of Harris' potential vice presidential picks.

Kenneth Chenault, who led American Express for 17 years, voiced support for Harris' economic platform.

"Kamala Harris's vision for the economy serves us all. She has demonstrated throughout her career that she wants to serve all people, and wants all Americans to have the opportunity to work to achieve their own share of the American dream," he said. "Our economy goes up and down. But the reason America is the strongest nation in the world is because of our commitment to something bigger than ourselves."

His remarks come as polls show the economy is a weak point for Harris, who currently trails Trump on the issue. Trump leads Harris by 9 points, 46-37%, in trust to handle the economy, a recent ABC News survey found.
