When is the DNC? Here's the latest schedule for the Democratic National Convention
Kamala Harris has earned enough delegate support to secure the democratic presidential nomination ahead of the Democratic National Convention, making Harris' official nomination at the DNC a mere formality at this point.
Still, the DNC is just a few days away, and here are the latest details and schedule.
When is the DNC?
The Democratic National Convention begins in Chicago at the United Center on Monday, August 19, and wraps up on Thursday, August 22.
"Democrats will gather in Chicago to rally behind our Democratic nominees for President and Vice President of the United States, celebrate our achievements over this past term, and chart a path for the future," read the DNC's website. "Democrats from across the country will tell our story directly to the American people."
When will Kamala Harris, Tim Walz speak at the DNC?
The Democratic National Convention Committee has not yet confirmed the speaker lineup for the DNC, but published reports suggest President Joe Biden will open the convention with a speech on Aug. 19.
Vice President Kamala Harris will be the featured keynote speaker and close out the DNC on Thursday, Aug. 22
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Kamala Harris' pick for running mate, will deliver his speech to the DNC on Wednesday, Aug. 21.
Will Josh Shapiro be at the Democratic National Convention?
Published reports indicate that former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama could speak at the DNC, as could former President Bill Clinton and former First Lady and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, the one-time favorite to become Kamala Harris' running mate, did not confirm any role at the DNC so far, but with Pennsylvania a battleground state, Shapiro could take the stage, too.
