The [star-studded]( four-day convention also featured a historic speech from [President Joe Biden](, a surprise appearance by [Oprah Winfrey]( and remarks from dozens of notable Democratic leaders including Rep. [Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez]( and [the Obamas](, in addition to performances by John Legend, Lil John, [Pink]( and more. On Wednesday, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz delivered a [patriotic]( speech accepting the Democratic vice presidential nomination that highlighted the [challenges his family]( has faced while warning of the urgent dangers of a second Trump term. In the aftermath of the convention, independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced he is [suspending]( his presidential campaign and endorsed Donald Trump, the Republican nominee. Trump’s campaign struggled all week to recapture its momentum throughout the DNC, leaning on a bizarre new set of [personal attacks]( on Harris and with the former president [posting 59 times]( on his social media platform during Harris’ acceptance speech. Meanwhile, a [“J6 Awards Gala](” event is scheduled to take place at his Bedminster golf club in early September to honor those convicted for their roles in the 2021 Capitol attack. Earlier this week, former Rep. George Santos [pleaded guilty]( to two counts of wire fraud and aggravated identity theft. And in Florida, Rep. Matt Gaetz won his primary on Tuesday night, dealing a decisive blow in former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s ["revenge tour"]( against the Republicans who helped to put an end to his tenure in leadership.
