WE GO TO AMANDA VICKI, WHO WAS ALSO INSIDE UNITED CENTER WHERE SHE'S BEEN COVERING TONIGHT'S EVENTS.

AMANDA.

YES, BRAND AS HEADING INTO THE NIGHT, VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS WAS ALREADY DEMOCRATS.

PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE.

THE PARTY HAD DONE EARLY TO AVOID ANY POTENTIAL LEGAL RISK WITH MAKING IT OFFICIAL.

BUT TONIGHT THEY DID THE TRADITIONAL ROLL CALL.

THEY MIX IT UP A LITTLE BIT, THOUGH, WITH A DJ.

LITERALLY PLANE STATE SPECIFIC TUNES, FITTINGLY FOR AN EVENT HERE AT THE UNITED CENTER, ILLINOIS WAS INTRODUCED WITH THE SAME SONG THAT THE CHAMPIONSHIP CHICAGO BULLS WERE BACK IN THE 90'S.

AND 76 VOTES FOR PRESIDENT IF YOU'RE A JUROR, MADAM PRESIDENT.

GOVERNOR JB PRITZKER MADE IT ONTO THE BIG SCREEN THEN.

BUT HE'S AT TRUE MOMENT WAS A PRIME TIME SPEECH JUST AFTER 8.30, THIS EVENING.

HE BEGAN BY WELCOMING HIS FELLOW DEMOCRATS TO CHICAGO AND THEN HE TOUCHED ON ILLINOIS'S CONNECTIONS TO FORMER PRESIDENTS ABRAHAM LINCOLN AND BARACK OBAMA.

RESIDENTIAL PEDIGREE IS UNMATCHED.

AND GIVEN THE VICE PRESIDENT, KAMALA HARRIS SPENT SOME OF HER EARLY LIFE.

I SPEAK FOR THE ENTIRE ILLINOIS DELEGATION.

IT IS.

I TALKED THE GOVERNOR ON FRIDAY AND HIS SPEECH WAS REALLY ALREADY PREPARED.

THEN HE WAS JUST FINE TUNING IT.

HE SAID THAT HE WANTED TO FOCUS ON BRAGGING ABOUT ILLINOIS.

SO CHECK THERE.

BUT HE SAID HE ALSO WANTED TO FOCUS ON THE IMPORTANCE OF ELECTING HARRIS.

WE HAVE A CHOICE.

AMERICA BETWEEN THE MAN WHO LEFT OUR COUNTRY, A TOTAL MASS AND THE WOMAN WHO HAS SPENT 4 YEARS CLEANING IT UP.

I THINK IT'S TIME WE STOP EXPECTING WOMEN TO CLEAN UP MESSES WITHOUT THE AUTHORITY AND THE TITLE TO MATCH AND HE WANTED TO FOCUS ON THE IMPORTANCE OF BEATING TRUMP.

HE CALLED THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE WEIRD, DANGEROUS AND CRUEL.

THINKS THAT WE SHOULD TRUST HIM ON THE ECONOMY BECAUSE HE CLAIMS TO BE VERY RICH.

BUT TAKE IT FROM AN ACTUAL BILLIONAIRE.

STUPIDITY.

PRITZKER IS A TOSSING THAT CASH AROUND.

HE HAS IN ORDER TO WIN THE OFFICE OF GOVERNOR.

BUT NOW MORE RECENTLY, HE'S AMONG THOSE WHO CONTRIBUTED 95 MILLION DOLLARS TO HELP PUT ON THIS CONVENTION.

WHEN I SPOKE WITH THE GOVERNOR, I ASKED HIM REPEATEDLY, HOW MUCH DID DONATE TO THE DNC CARS?

AND HE DIDN'T WANT TO SAY JUST THAT.

HE WAS NOT A TOP DONOR AND HE BELIEVES THAT HAVING THE DNC IN THE CITY IS GOING TO BRING A LOT OF ECONOMIC BENEFIT TO CHICAGO AND TO ILLINOIS.

ALSO THE GOVERNOR GOING TO BE PAYING TO THROUGH A PRIVATE CONCERT SHOULD BE GETTING STARTED ANY TIME NOW THAT DNC HAS ADJOURNED FOR THE NIGHT HE'LL BE PAYING TO BRING IN JOHN LEGEND, GRAMMY AWARD-WINNING ARTIST TO CHICAGO.

SALT SHED PRITZKER SAYING THAT HE EXPECTS ABOUT 1000 PEOPLE TO ATTEND.

WHEN I ASKED HIM WHY JOHN LEGEND, HE TOSSED THE QUESTION BACK TO ME AND SAID WHO DOESN'T LIKE JOHN LEGEND'S MUSIC.

BUT PRITZKER SAYS ALSO BECAUSE LEGEND BELIEVES IN THE DEMOCRATIC
