Watch: U.S. Rep Cedric Richmond’s son steals spotlight at DNC with cutest recital of the pledge

While there were plenty of monumental moments from the 2020 Democratic National Convention, none of them will go down as being as cute as when Rep. Cedric Richmond’s son took the stage Thursday night.

All it took was for Cedric Richmond Jr. to recite the Pledge of Allegiance and give his most impressive smile to kick off the final night.

Following suit in what has been a uniquely 2020 DNC, Richmond Jr. participated in the event virtually. The Louisiana representative could be seen on camera before his son’s recital, wiping down his face and giving him one suggestion.

“This time, do it while you’re smiling, OK?” said Richmond, who represents the state’s second congressional district. 

It wasn’t the only night Richmond was featured at the DNC. During the nationwide roll call Tuesday night, Richmond and Mayor LaToya Cantrell represented Louisiana. The Louisiana representative also gave a speech that showed his support for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and discussed the vitality of small businesses. 

The final night of virtual convention festivities would eventually come to a close when Biden officially accepted his nomination.
