When is DNC Convention 2024? The DNC is scheduled to take place August 19 through August 22.
Where is the DNC 2024?The convention will be in Chicago, just 90 miles south of Milwaukee, where the Republican National Convention was recently held. The Democratic Party has held a national convention every four years since 1832 to nominate its chosen candidates, and Chicago has a storied history of hosting conventions on both sides of the political aisle dating back to 1860, with the nomination of Abraham Lincoln. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, this will be the Windy City’s 26th political convention.
What happens at the DNC?Unlike the RNC, the DNC decided to confirm their nominee during a virtual roll call on Aug. 5 to satisfy ballot deadlines in several states. According to a press release, 99% of participating delegates supported Kamala Harris in the virtual roll call, and Harris and Walz accepted the nomination a day later.
However, Harris has not yet formally accepted the nomination, which she will do at the convention in Chicago.
In the meantime, there is still plenty left to do for the Democratic delegates. The DNC offers them a chance to adopt and unify a comprehensive party platform, taking a stance on issues like reproductive rights, immigration and economic policy.
The Democratic Party will post updates on its convention website, which can be found at demconvention.com.
