Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said in his convention remarks that Trump had promised to bring back manufacturing jobs and to deliver infrastructure "but he failed."

"His record was defined by failure. To put it another way, Donald Trump is like a bad boss. You want time off to take care of your sick parents? Ask Donald Trump. Denied. In Donald Trump's America, there is no paid family leave. Want to have a child but need IVF? Too bad; that's shut down. ... Want a pay raise? Too bad; the boss just gave himself one, so there's nothing left for you."

Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., tonight talked about how Harris called him after his mother and stepfather died from Covid.

"I will never forget when Kamala Harris called me after my parents died," Garcia said. "She told me about her own story, about losing her own mother, and that she was praying for me at that very moment."

Rich Logis once styled himself as an "ultra-MAGA" conservative commentator and Trump defender. He started a pro-Trump podcast, wrote for conservative media outlets and regularly assailed liberal Democrats.

But as Logis told Democratic delegates in a recorded video tonight, he "finally stepped outside the MAGA echo chamber" and "looked around with my own eyes." He determined that Trump was a serial liar who failed the country in the early months of the Covid crisis.

Logis, speaking straight to the camera, delivered a pointed message to "all the Republicans and independents" watching the convention: "I made a grave mistake, but it's never too late to change your mind."

He called on anti-Trump Republicans and independents to vote for the Harris-Walz ticket.

Four people were arrested after the security breach during the March on the DNC protest this evening, Tom Ahern, the deputy director of communications for the Chicago Police Department, told NBC Chicago.

It's rare to see a political discussion about Covid policy these days. Most Americans clearly want to turn the page, and the debate over pandemic response is a thorny one for both sides that usually has them on the defensive (Democrats over accusations that some of their policies infringed too much on personal freedoms and Republicans over the effort by many in their party to downplay the pandemic's impact and to cast doubt on the efficacy of vaccines).

That's why Monday's part of convention programming devoted to the Covid pandemic stuck out, showing how Democrats could try to go on offense on the issue if they chose to.

Rep. Lauren Underwood, D-Ill., drew a contrast between the Trump administration's response to Covid and that of the Biden-Harris White House in her convention remarks.

She said that Trump "failed us" on Covid but that the Biden-Harris administration "got it under control." She also argued that Trump turned Covid "into a catastrophe."

Underwood drew on her experience as a registered nurse and brought up that she had a pre-existing condition. She also highlighted that she was the youngest Black woman ever elected to Congress, noting that she was "painfully aware" that Black women "were more likely to die from Covid."

Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan heralded the convention's kickoff as a "historic night" in her convention speech tonight.

"We remember those who came before us, who fought and prayed this moment into existence, the suffragists and the abolitionists, the activists who fought for our rights, the leader who — the leaders who — paved the way for us," Flanagan said. "Their memory reminds us that the fight for freedom always passes from one generation to the next."

Flanagan, who also paid homage to her Native American heritage, spoke fondly of Walz, whom she said she had worked with for nearly six years, describing him as a public servant who "does it all with a big heart, a buffalo plaid jacket and a bottomless bag of snacks, Nutter Butters, cheese curds and diet Dew."

"Any time we meet, he brings something for me, because he’s always got my back, and when he’s vice president, he will always have yours," she added.

There won't be a formal roll call vote at the convention this week to nominate Harris for president because delegates had done so virtually earlier this month. Instead, the Rules Committee chair re-affirmed their nominations tonight.

Tuesday’s nomination roll call votes will also include both in-person and remote elements designed to highlight the diversity of the party.

According to the convention organizers, the roll call will begin with Delaware, as a tribute to Biden, and end with California and Minnesota, home states of Harris and Walz, respectively. There will be a “diverse mix of storytellers” participating in the delegation-by-delegation voting, some in person and some at remote sites. (Remember “Calamari Guy” from Rhode Island four years ago?)

Note that the convention is calling this a “ceremonial” and “celebratory’ roll call, after they held a virtual roll call to make Harris the official nominee that concluded earlier this month..

The U.S. government has formally endorsed Trump’s claim that Iran hacked his campaign.

In a joint statement today, the FBI, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence said Iran was behind attempts this year to hack presidential campaigns of both political parties.

The same hackers were alleged by Google to have targeted the Biden-Harris campaign before President Joe Biden ended his run for re-election, but it’s not clear whether they were breached. Democratic nominee Kamala Harris’ campaign previously said it had no indication it was hacked.
