DNC 2024 Day 3: Tim Walz tells Democrats to 'leave it on the field'

Jon Polin and Rachel Rachel Goldberg-Polin, the parents of Hersh Goldberg-Polin, told the crowd, many who wore "bring them home bracelets," that they are pushing for a cease-fire and the safe return of the hostages.

"The time is now," he said.

Many in the crowd were in tears.

Goldberg-Polin ended the speech with a message to her son.

To those calling for a cease-fire in Gaza and "an end to the loss of innocent lives in Gaza" and to bring the hostages home, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison had a message.

"They're listening, friends. They agree with us," he said.

Ellison was one of the few Muslims to serve in the House before becoming Minnesota attorney general and was one of the chamber's most vocal progressives. He's likely one of the few Democrats with cache within the party who also has appeal to the pro-Palestinian protesters outside, making him a potent messenger for Harris on this issue.

The controversial conservative policy blueprint has become a flashpoint in the 2024 election.

As a result, Trump has tried to put space between his 2024 campaign and the project, despite some of his close advisers and former administration officials being involved in its creation.

"I know nothing about Project 2025," Trump has claimed on social media. "I have no idea who is behind it."

Democrats, however, are intent on tying the policy wishlist to Trump. Speakers this week have decried its proposals on everything from reproductive rights and health care to agency regulation.

Jon Polin and Rachel Goldberg, the parents of Hersh Goldberg-Polin -- one of the American Israeli hostages, got emotional as they took the stage to a huge ovation.

"Bring them home," the crowd chanted.
