The Democratic National Convention, which was originally planned for Milwaukee, will continue in its virtual format for a second night. “The usual tableau of cheering delegates and supersize balloon drops will be replaced by green screens and about three dozen politicians speaking remotely over satellite feeds that — if the event coordinators are lucky — don’t freeze, drop audio or disintegrate into pixels,” Glenn Thrush and Michael M. Grynbaum wrote of the new format for The New York Times. Ahead of Jill Biden’s address at the end of the program, the evening’s speakers will include former Secretary of State John Kerry, Rep.
