Good evening. I'm Jeff Bennett and I'm Amna Navas at the Democratic National Convention

on the news hour tonight. After the Obama's make the case for a Kamala Harris presidency, Minnesota Governor Tim

Wall's prepares to formally accept the nomination for Vice President.

We speak to members of the House and Senate about Democrats chances of winning

majorities in those chambers on election day. And while the world's eyes are

focused on Gaza, hardliners ramp up efforts to expand Israeli settlements and violently

expel Palestinians in the West Bank.

I fear for my family. Every day people are being killed. I'm afraid of the future. It may kill me at any moment. Welcome to the news hour.

The news hour.

Tonight here at the Democratic National Convention

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz will accept his party's nomination to be

Vice President and introduce himself to the American people.

Last night it was former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama who were

center stage, energizing the convention crowd and delivering scathing criticisms of

former President Donald Trump's campaign and presidency.

White House correspondent Laura Barone Lopez joins us now from the convention floor where she's

been watching it all.

That's right, Jeff and Amna, the former president through his weight behind Harris's nomination

last night, telling the packed arena here that the Harris Wall's ticket is ultimately the only choice.

With back-to-back speeches that lit up the arena,

Barack and Michelle Obama delivered a political one-two punch.

I don't know about you, but I'm feeling fired up.
