Day three of the Democratic National Convention is Wednesday and will feature several high-profile speakers at Philadelphia's Wells Fargo Center. Taking the stage in the prime-time slots tonight are President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden.

Vice Presidential nominee Tim Kaine is also expected to speak Wednesday night, in his first major introduction to the country.

The convention, being held at Philadelphia's Wells Fargo Center, began with a rocky start Monday with some tension continuing Tuesday as some Bernie Sanders supporters walked out as Hillary Clinton was officially nominated to take on Donald Trump in the general election.

The week so far has been filled with an array of speakers singing their praises for Clinton, including First Lady Michelle Obama, Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Sen. Bernie Sanders on Monday. Tuesday featured the nominee's husband and former President Bill Clinton. In a personal and enthusiastic tribute to his wife of more than 40 years, Bill Clinton called the nominee the "best darn change-maker I have ever known."

Wednesday is expected to be a busy day at the convention, with a full prime-time lineup of speakers. Follow along with developments here:

No dancing observed (yet).
