Welcome to a very special edition of Meet the Press Now, live from Chicago.

I am Kristen Welker here in the United Center as we count down to the start of the fourth and final night of the Democratic National Convention and what will be in historic evening.

Tonight Vice President Harris will formally accept her party's nomination for

president.

Just one month since becoming a candidate and with just 75 days until the election it will

be the biggest speech of her political career and a deeply personal one as

she becomes just the second woman and first woman of color to top a major

party's presidential ticket. sources tell us that while the vice president will

acknowledge the history of the moment her speech will focus on her qualifications to be

president and her optimistic agenda. It comes after her running mate Minnesota

Governor Tim Wall's introduced himself to voters last night, emphasizing his journey to the nomination as a coach, a

veteran, a teacher, and a dad. He and other speakers like Oprah Winfrey leaned heavily

into the Harris campaign's message of freedom. I'm letting you in on how

we started a family because this is a big part about what this election is about.

Freedom.

When Republicans use the word freedom,

they mean that the government should be free to invade your doctor's office.

Corporations free to pollute your air and water and

and banks free to take advantage of customers.

But when we Democrats talk about freedom,

we mean the freedom to make a better life for yourself

and the people that you love.
