The red carpet will co-mingle with the White House as the 2012 Democratic Convention continues.  In addition to the special speeches by celebrities such as Kerry Washington, Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson, there also will be musical performances by the likes of Mary J. Blige, Foo Fighters and James Taylor, amongst others.

Washington, Portman, and Johansson will all be representing the women and youth of the nation; a demographic that the President's camp is looking to win. The three ethnically diverse women are slated to come on stage in unison.  Portman and Johansson are both white, while Washington is African-American.

Several other political speeches are scheduled to take place, as well as Obama and Biden's acceptance for the Democratic nomination. 

Coverage begins at 5pm EST.
