The 2020 Democratic National Convention gets underway Monday and kicks off four days of virtual party meetings, events and speeches before Thursday, when the ticket of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are expected to officially accept the presidential and vice presidential nominations in primetime.
The coronavirus pandemic scuttled plans for the usually in-person conventions for both Dems and Republicans (the latter have their convention next week); the election is November 3. In its place on the Dems’ side are mornings and afternoons of meetings followed by a primetime block from 9-11 PM ET that will feature marquee speeches from the likes of Michelle Obama, Bernie Sanders, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, and musical performances including from Billie Eilish and Jennifer Hudson, before Harris and Biden have their turns.
See the full schedule of events below.
Broadcast news networks ABC, CBS and NBC have said they will provide one hour of coverage of the primetime segments each night, but there are myriad ways to tune in to the quadrennial event.
