Our Washington correspondent Kevin Frey joins us from the floor of the Democratic National Convention on the final night of the four-day event, ahead of big speeches from North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper and Vice President Kamala Harris as she officially accepts the party's nomination.

We're joined on the floor by Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles and Rep. Mary Belk.

A number of advocates are making their rounds in the Windy City as well, working to further their causes.

We sit down with New Rural Project Co-Founder Cynthia Wallace and the CEO of the New North Carolina Project Dr. Aimy Steele.

Cory Vaillancourt, the politics editor of the Smoky Mountain News in western North Carolina, is one of the thousands of members of the media in Chicago for the convention this week.

He joins us to share his experience at the DNC.
