As a seasoned gamer with a passion for politics and entertainment, I must say that this year’s Democratic National Convention has truly outdone itself! From Oprah to Spike Lee, and Stevie Wonder to Julia Louis-Dreyfus, the star power was off the charts.
Following the 2021 Republican National Convention that brought celebrities such as Hulk Hogan, Kid Rock, and Amber Rose, the upcoming Democratic National Convention is attracting arguably even more notable figures like Oprah Winfrey, Spike Lee, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Stevie Wonder.
2020’s Democratic National Convention, honoring Vice President Kamala Harris’ groundbreaking presidential nomination, was orchestrated by Tony Goldwyn, Ana Navarro, Mindy Kaling, and Kerry Washington, each taking turns as emcees for one night of the event. Spanning four days, the convention showcased musical performances from Stevie Wonder, John Legend, Patti LaBelle, and other prominent artists; unexpected appearances by Oprah Winfrey, who delivered a speech encouraging those like her who are registered as independents to vote; a daytime panel led by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, among other events.
