REPRESENTATIVE TRAVIS WEAVER, THANKS SO MUCH.

NOW WE GO BACK TO THE UNITED CENTER WHERE AMANDA VICKI IS WITH ILLINOIS LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR JULIANA STRATTON.

AMANDA.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR JOINING US.

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR AND THE OHSAA 100,000 BALLOONS ARE STILL FALL IN B AND POP.

WHAT DID IT FEEL LIKE TO BE DOWN THERE AS YOU WATCH THE NOMINATION OF WHO MAY BECOME THE FIRST WOMAN TO SERVE AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES?

WELL, IT OVERWHELMING.

AT TIMES I SAT THERE AND I ACTUALLY SHED A FEW TEARS.

JUST THINKING ABOUT JUST THE MAGNITUDE OF THIS OCCASION AND KNOWING WHEN SHE SAID I ACCEPT THE NOMINATION FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES TO HEAR A WOMAN'S VOICE AND KNOW THAT THERE WAS SO MUCH ENTHUSIASM, SO MANY PEOPLE WHO REALLY BELIEVE THAT WE CAN DO IT THIS TIME THAT WE GOT CLOSE IN 2016.

BUT THIS TIME WE ARE DETERMINED TO NOT GO BACK TO GO FORWARD.

AND I JUST WAS SO PROUD OF THE WAY THAT SHE KIND OF LAID OUT HER CASE AS TO WHY SHE'S THE MOST QUALIFIED PERSON TO TAKE ON THIS JOB AND TO LEAD OUR COUNTRY FORWARD.

SHE DIDN'T TALK MUCH SAFER REALLY ANY FROM WHAT I HEARD, ALTHOUGH IT WAS HARD TO HEAR IT HERE SOMETIMES BECAUSE ALL THE ABOUT BEING A WOMAN AND WHAT THAT MEANT.

WHY DO YOU THINK THAT IS?

SHOULD SHE HAVE NOT NEEDED?

WELL, I THINK WHETHER SHE TALKED ABOUT IT OR NOT ARE SO MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE JUST EXCITED ABOUT THIS HISTORIC CANDIDACY AND THE HISTORY THAT I BELIEVE WILL BE MADE ON NOVEMBER.

5TH.

BUT WHAT I REALLY LOVED ABOUT WHAT SHE DID IN THIS SPEECH WAS TO TALK ABOUT HER EXPERIENCE TO TALK ABOUT HER LIFE STORY LET PEOPLE KNOW WHO KAMALA HARRIS IS, HOW HER MOTHER RAISED HER, THE VALUES THAT SHE HAS AND HOW SHE USED ALL OF THOSE VALUES TO PROPEL HER CAREER.

AS A DISTRICT ATTORNEY AS A PROSECUTOR AS TOURNEY GENERAL, AS VICE PRESIDENT.

AND I JUST LOVED HEARING HER FOREIGN AFFAIRS EXPERIENCE.

SHE IS THE MOST QUALIFIED FOR THIS JOB.

AND I'M JUST SO EXCITED THAT SHE'S AT THE TOP OF THE TICKET.

YOU ARE AS MANY INDIVIDUALS ARE WEARING WHITE A NOD TO THE WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT.

BUT YOU ALSO HAVE A GREEN PEN IN THE SHAPE OF ILLINOIS.

I WILL THAT YOU ARE IN A CASE, SAME SORORITY AS KAMALA HARRIS.

TELL US ABOUT THAT SISTERHOOD AND WHAT DIFFERENT FACT MEANS DID POSE WHAT IT MEANS TO YOU AND WHAT DIFFERENCE IT CAN MAKE TO HER CAMPAIGN.

WELL, YES, I LOVE THAT EVERYONE WAS WEARING THE WHITE IN HONOR OF WOMEN SUFFRAGISTS AND BUT I THINK THAT THE PINK AND GREEN FOR OUT THE CAP OUT BY AND ALL OF THAT AND NOT TO BUY 9 ORGANIZATIONS REALLY.

WE'RE SORT OF SPRINKLED OUT THROUGHOUT THIS WONDERFUL AUDITORIUM IN STADIUM.

AND IT WAS JUST AN OPPORTUNITY TO JUST EXPRESS A LITTLE SUPPORT FOR OUR DIVINE 9 SISTER AND TO LET HER KNOW THAT WE STAND WITH HER ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA SORORITY INCORPORATED TIMES SPEAKING JUST AS A MEMBER IS ABOUT SERVICE AND IT IS ABOUT GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY.

AND I THINK TODAY VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS TALKED ABOUT HER LONG CAREER OF SERVICE.

THAT'S GOING TO TAKE HER ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE VERY FEW SECONDS THAT WE HAVE LEFT.

THIS IS THE CLOSING NIGHT OF THE CONVENTION.

WHAT DO YOU HOPE TO TAKE AWAY IS FOR EVERYBODY WHO'S MAYBE COME TO CHICAGO FOR THE FIRST TIME TODAY?

IT WAS A THRILLING WEEK.

WHAT I HOPE IS EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS THAT DEMOCRATS ARE UNIFIED, BUT WE HAVE TO KEEP WORKING.

IT'S NOT GOING TO BE A CAKEWALK.

WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO TO BE VICTORIOUS ON NOVEMBER.

5TH AND WE'RE GOING TO DO IT ONCE AGAIN.

JULIANA STRATTON HERE TO WATCH A POTENTIALLY THE ELEVATION OF VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS TO BECOME THE FIRST WOMAN AND FIRST BLACK WOMAN TO HOLD THE OFFICE OF PRESIDENCY.

YOU, OF COURSE, FIRST BLACK WOMAN TO HOLD THE OFFICE OF LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR IN ILLINOIS.

THANK
