Getting Ready for the Democratic National Convention – Schedule of Speakers!

Democrats Announce Additional Speakers and Schedule Updates for ...

Dear Commons Community,

The Democratic National Convention (DNC) will begin tonight and last through Thursday, August 20th. The convention was originally planned for the week of July 13th, but was delayed due to the pandemic.  

The convention was set to be held at the 17,000-seat Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee but has since been moved to the city’s Wisconsin Center.  It will be the convention’s virtual production center.

The main events will be aired from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. EDT on each of the four nights, although there will also be daytime events starting at 9 a.m. The convention will be broadcast on the DNC’s website as well as on most major television networks, social media platforms and streaming services like Apple TV and Roku.

Below is the schedule of speakers that includes all of the major figures in the Democratic Party and at least one Republican, John Kasich, the former governor of Ohio.

Let the convention begin!

Tony
