Gov. Tim Walz introduced himself to millions of Americans for the first time, delivering a tight speech focused on praising Kamala Harris and boosting his Midwestern background.

Former President Bill Clinton, who has spoken at 13 consecutive DNCs, used his speech to emphasize the importance of a new generation in politics. He portrayed himself as a member of "Generation Old," ready to be led by Harris. 

The Obamas gave energizing speeches on Night 2 of the convention, reminiscing on their political journey and taking swipes at Trump.

Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken said that Israel accepted the Biden administration's ceasefire proposal, which he called "probably the best, maybe the last, opportunity" to secure a truce and bring hostages home. However, a Hamas official said that while Hamas has also broadly accepted the framework, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu introduced new conditions last week.

Meanwhile, new research suggests that a growing number of countries are aiding Israel's attack on Gaza. Legal experts warn that this could make those countries complicit in serious war crimes against the Palestinian people.
