Democratic delegates from all 50 U.S. states and seven territories cast their official votes for the 2020 presidential nominee during a virtual roll call on the second night of the Democratic National Convention. Speaking from notable locations in their home regions — from ocean shores in Puerto Rico to tribal lands in New Mexico and South Dakota — delegates highlighted their policy priorities and announced vote tallies for presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden. Some delegates also cast support for Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who dropped out of the race this spring. The coronavirus pandemic upended both parties’ traditional conventions. Instead of in-person events, the program each night features a number of speakers and musical performances virtually across the country.
