Adding a comedic touch, Kenan Thompson is slated to perform a comedy skit that focuses on “Project 2025,” a controversial proposal initiated by conservatives to enact sweeping policy changes under a hypothetical second Trump administration.

The list of celebrities attending the DNC doesn’t end there.

Mindy Kaling will be taking on hosting duties on Wednesday night, with Kerry Washington scheduled to close out the hosting on Thursday.
With the DNC only halfway through, the combination of star-powered performances and high-profile addresses—culminating with an anticipated speech from Vice President Kamala Harris—is set to keep the convention captivating.
