‘California Love’ to ‘Texas Hold ‘Em’: DNC recognizes each state with special music


The roll call ceremony at the Democratic National Convention showcased a blend of national and state pride through various musical selections.

Delegates from Tennessee danced along to Dolly Parton’s “9 to 5,” while Texas representatives brought the energy with Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ‘Em.”

New York Governor Kathy Hochul took pride in the Empire State’s history with Jay Z and Alicia Keys’ “Empire State Of Mind.” California Governor Gavin Newsom also celebrated with a mix of Tupac Shakur’s “California Love” and Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us.”

 

Beyoncé’s “Freedom” resonated as Harris made a surprise appearance, accepting the party’s nomination live from a campaign event she attended with running mate Tim Walz in Wisconsin.

This ceremonial roll call unfolded on the second day of the convention in Chicago.
