A virtual DNC: Democrats have cancelled their massive in-person gathering in Milwaukee, but the speeches will be on screens across the country.
With the convention cut down to just two hours a night, there will be fewer speakers. And instead of live speeches, the convention will rely more heavily on videos to prevent technical glitches, including for the most popular figures. Former First Lady Michelle Obama was recording her speech from the family’s vacation home in Martha’s Vineyard,Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who was Biden’s final rival for the nomination, will be featured the first night.
The speaker list has already drawn some controversy over who was and wasn’t included. Some Democrats have argued the schedule favors moderate Democrats and Republicans over progressives and Latinos. Organizers granted speaking slots to former Ohio Gov. John Kasich, a Republican. And tweeted that he’s “honored” to be speaking at the convention, though he’s not listed on the official schedule.Former Housing Secretary Julián Castro was not included — though other former Democratic presidential candidates were. And progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York has reportedly been granted just one minute.But I know that I must use it.But eternity is in it.”
