The Democratic National Convention will play out like a star-studded Zoom call next week, anchored by nightly prime-time keynote speeches, with Michelle Obama on Monday, Jill Biden on Tuesday, Barack Obama on Wednesday, and Joe Biden’s acceptance speech on Thursday, according to a schedule of events.
After the formality of a virtual delegate vote Tuesday, Biden’s running mate will address the convention Wednesday. As a precaution, planners have scheduled speaking times for some top vice presidential contenders in case they are not picked, including Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan and Sens. Kamala Harris of California and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts.
To minimize risk, the convention’s planning team — led by Stephanie Cutter, a veteran Democratic operative, and Ricky Kirshner, a producer of the Super Bowl halftime show — plan to weave in taped segments with live speeches to avoid embarrassing electronic faceplants. But the remote nature of the proceedings means that networks will have to act more like air traffic controllers, directing a flurry of video feeds, than on-the-ground chroniclers of a heaving human spectacle. News anchors will cover the events from studios in New York and Washington, with some pundits beaming in from summer homes.
Ocasio-Cortez, whose appearance had been in doubt, was one of Sanders’ two picks to symbolically nominate him at the convention, according to two people familiar with internal party negotiations.
