Another reason why the roll call at the national political conventions is probably the most fun part.

“We represent a new South.”

During the roll call portion of the Democratic National Convention Tuesday in Chicago, North Carolina Democrats cast their votes for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

And they did it in style, with a shout out to North Carolina’s past, present, and future, with with an assist from Petey Pablo’s “Raise Up.”

Check it out below.

Support Our Cause

Thank you for taking the time to read our work. Before you go, we hope you'll consider supporting our values-driven journalism, which has always strived to make clear what's really at stake for North Carolinians and our future.

Since day one, our goal here at Cardinal & Pine has always been to empower people across the state with fact-based news and information. We believe that when people are armed with knowledge about what's happening in their local, state, and federal governments—including who is working on their behalf and who is actively trying to block efforts aimed at improving the daily lives of North Carolina families—they will be inspired to become civically engaged.
