Gov. Jared Polis will speak at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday evening, a spokesman confirmed, the same night Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz will take the convention stage.
Walz, who was tapped earlier this month to be Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate, will speak after former President Bill Clinton: according to the New York Times. The full lineup – including Polis’ expected time slot – will be announced by the DNC on Wednesday afternoon.
Polis, who served in Congress with Walz, introduced his Minnesota colleague at a fundraiser in Denver last week, during Walz’s first solo trip since joining the Democratic party. Polis has been an enthusiastic and public supporter of Harris since President Joe Biden announced in July that he would end his re-election bid.
The Colorado governor has been at the convention in Chicago all week, along with other Colorado Democrats including U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet, U.S. Reps. Jason Crow and Diana DeGette, Attorney General Phil Weiser, Treasurer Dave Young and state Reps. Leslie Herod, Javier Mabrey and Bob Marshall.
