LIVE BLOG: Democrats Highlight Contrasts With Republicans as Convention Opens

update

First lady Michelle Obama gave a forceful, impassioned defense of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, casting her as the only candidate who can be trusted as a role model for the nation's children. Obama was among the power lineup of speakers taking the stage in Philadelphia at the Democratic National Convention. The convention’s first day was embroiled in controversy over leaked emails that showed how party leaders sought to ease Clinton's path to the nomination by mocking her challenger, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders.

Warren's speech is measured. She's hitting all the talking points -- her comments about breaking up big banks and not signing trade deals that are harmful to American workers get big cheers.

There's only one speech left tonight: Bernie Sanders. He's being introduced by Congressman Keith Ellison, the first Muslim to be elected to the U.S. Congress.

Ellison, making a comment about last week's Republican convention, said, "When they bring the division, we gotta bring the unity."

A video is playing before Sanders comes to the stage. Crowd is going crazy.
