Several prominent figures from the Democratic Party are expected to speak at the party’s convention in Chicago taking place this week, beginning Monday.
No formal list of speakers has been released, but those reportedly planning to make an appearance include President Joe Biden, former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and former President Jimmy Carter’s son, Jason. Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, will also speak during the final days of the convention.
Biden and Hillary Clinton, the party’s nominee in 2016, will speak Monday on day one, while Obama will speak on day two of the convention, Tuesday. Bill Clinton is slated to speak Wednesday, on day three, alongside Walz. Harris will round out the end of the event Thursday with her speech.
In addition to Democratic Party figures and other people directly involved in politics, some major celebrities are working behind the scenes to secure their own appearance during the political convention, sources reported last week.
