DNC schedule today: See list of events, where to watch Democratic convention
The 2024 Democratic National Convention kicks off Monday in Chicago as Democrats will make their pitch to voters across the country.
The convention comes after a whirlwind couple of months for the party after Joe Biden's disastrous debate performance against former President Donald Trump on June 27, to his decision not to seek reelection and endorse Vice President Kamala Harris.
The convention's first night will pay tribute to the 81-year-old Democratic president, and other Democratic heavyweights, such as Barack Obama and Bill and Hillary Clinton, are also expected to speak at the convention.
The DNC speaker schedule is subject to change and a full list of speakers will be released at a later time.
