Vice President Kamala Harris is set to formally accept the Democratic Party’s nomination at the convention, which will kick off in Chicago on Aug. 19.
Several prominent Democratic figures are set to speak at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago this month, two sources familiar with the plans told NBC News.
President Joe Biden, former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have been confirmed as speakers at the convention. Obama and the Clintons delivered speeches during the 2020 DNC, which was largely held virtually to prevent the spread of Covid-19 amid the pandemic.
A source familiar said that former President Jimmy Carter’s grandson Jason Carter is also confirmed to be speaking as a representative for his grandfather.
I get that they kinda need to have Biden there to speak but please give him the minimal amount of time possible. Let Kamala shine and not give the other sides opportunity for sound bites of Biden slips.
Also, put a muzzle on Hillary
Zero reason for the Clintons to speak… In fact if they could just disappear forever and let us put that whole narcissistic sociopath episode behind us, that would be fantastic
Barry needs to bow out of the spotlight after this election too, he’s not nearly as bad as the Clinton’s in my eyes but we have to get over the nostalgia show in the political world, it’s time to make new roads and empower new leaders, not stay anchored to those of the past
