The convention is taking place in Chicago, which is where the WNBA's Sky are located. The biggest name on the Sky roster is rookie Angel Reese.

"I haven't been able to tap a lot into the political election… so, I'm not that educated right now, but [I] just continue to learn," Reese said.
"Everybody go out there and vote. I commend that, and I just tell a lot of people to go out there and vote because we need it for this election."
