How the DNC Roll Call Showcased Voices from 57 States and Territories - 1 minute read


There was a fisherman in Alaska, a veteran firefighter in Connecticut and the father of a student killed in a school shooting in Parkland, Fla.

There was a fourth-generation family farmer in Kansas, a recent college graduate in Montana, a registered nurse in New York and a tribal activist in South Dakota.

And finally, after a roughly 30-minute virtual tour of America, there were Gov. John Carney and Senator Tom Carper of Delaware, standing at the Joseph R. Biden Jr. Railroad Station in Wilmington.

“I have known Joe Biden for 40 years,” Mr. Carper said. “There’s nobody I trust more to lead our party, unite the country and restore our standing in the world.”
