New York Senator Hillary Clinton will headline the 2nd night of the Democratic National Convention, the Obama campaign announced Sunday.
That day of the convention, Tuesday, Aug. 26, coincides with the 88th anniversary of the women's right to vote. The campaign and convention committee said Clinton is "a champion for working families and one of the most effective and empathetic voices in the country today," ABC News reported.
Nominee-in-waiting Barack Obama's campaign said that he gave his former primary rival top billing on the convention's second night in recognition of her strong second-place showing in the marathon Democratic primary.
The campaign said Obama's wife Michelle is slated to headline the opening night on Aug. 25, while the yet-to-be-named vice presidential pick will speak on the third. Democratic officials say >President Bill Clinton is also scheduled to speak that night.
