Best scenes from Day 2 of the 2024 Democratic National Convention
Georgia’s delegate roll call at the Democratic National Convention Tuesday included a star cameo: Lil Jon.
Each state was introduced by a DJ at the convention before announcing how their delegates cast their vote (even though the formal nomination has already happened). When Georgia was called on to cast their votes, the cameras panned to Lil Jon atop the United Center stadium stairs in Chicago.
“YEEEEEEEAHHHHHHHHHH,” the Atlanta rapper said as the intro to “Turn Down for What,” played on the speaker.
“Ladies and gentlemen, we are here tonight to officially nominate Kamala Harris for president!” he said, as the crowed bounced to the beat drop. Cameras followed Lil Jon to the Georgia delegate section and he started chanting “We’re not going back!”
The beat then changed to “Get Low,” and Lil Jon incorporated a popular internet pun, swapping in Vice president nominee Gov. Tim Walz for “walls” in the lyrics.
