The Democratic National Convention kicked off Monday, August 19, in Chicago, Illinois, where the Democratic Party is set to formally nominate Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, to its 2024 presidential ticket.
The four-day event comes a month after President Joe Biden ended his reelection campaign amid concerns from top Democrats and campaign donors over his age, mental fitness, and low polling numbers against the Republican Party’s presidential nominee, former President Donald Trump. Democrats quickly rallied behind Harris at the top of the ticket, feeling a renewed sense of optimism ahead of November.
This week’s convention will give Harris and Walz a chance to lay out their vision for the country and energize voters. Follow here for the latest news, explainers, and analysis.
