At the Democrats’ convention roll call vote, rapper Lil Jon performed his hit song “Turn Down for What” as Georgia’s representative. The roll call was purely ceremonial this year, with Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz already confirmed as the nominees. Other states featured popular songs like “Carry On Wayward Son,” “Born In the USA,” and “Despacito” during their votes. Special guests like Wendell Pierce, Sean Astin, and Spike Lee appeared with different state delegations, adding to the festivities. The roll call vote is often a lighthearted part of political conventions, and this year’s virtual format allowed for innovative presentations from each state. A memorable moment included the Rhode Island delegation dubbing their state the “calamari comeback state” in a video featuring a man holding a plate of calamari. However, the “Calamari Man” did not make a repeat appearance as he reportedly supports former President Donald Trump. Despite the unconventional format, the roll call vote remained a colorful and entertaining showcase of state pride and Democratic unity.
