Here’s everything you need to know about the Democratic National Convention, and how to tune in
Picture this, minus the crowd. Photo: Justin Sullivan/Getty Images After being pushed back from July due to the pandemic, the Democratic National Convention will finally kick off on Monday, August 17. The DNC has planned four nights of virtual programming, culminating in Joe Biden’s acceptance speech on Thursday, August 20. The televised portion of the event has been condensed to just a few hours of “prime time” programming, set to run from 9 to 11 p.m. ET.
While some limited party business will still take place in Milwaukee, the convention will be mostly virtual. Both Biden and Harris will address the convention from the Chase Center in Wilmington, Delaware. A Biden campaign official told The Hill that none of the speakers will appear before a crowd. 9 p.m. ET: Speakers include Senator Amy Klobuchar, Senator Catherine Cortez Mastro, Governor Andrew Cuomo, Governor Gretchen Whitmer, Representative Jim Clyburn, Representative Gwen Moore, and Senator Doug Jones. Tuesday, August 18th Lineup Theme: “Leadership Matters.” What that means, according to the DNC:
America is not going back to where it was before Donald Trump’s mismanagement of the pandemic and subsequent economic crisis, because for too many people, that wasn’t good enough. As he leads us out of crisis, Joe Biden will help build back better. He will have a historic partner in these efforts: the first female vice president.
