Democrats head into DNC with Harris on the ticket
The stage is set after a dramatic change at the top of the ticket.
CHICAGO – President Joe Biden is slated to speak at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago Monday night.
He’ll take the stage to make the case for Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz.
Dr. Jill Biden will also deliver remarks on Monday night. The exact time has not yet been announced.
In addition to highlighting the Harris-Walz vision for the future and the stakes of this election, the president will detail the successes of the Biden-Harris Administration.
Harris will formally accept her nomination on Thursday. Following Biden, several other prominent Democrats will address the party.
Hillary Clinton
Former Secretary of State and twice-failed presidential nominee Hillary Clinton will address the DNC Monday night as well.
Clinton was the first woman to be a presidential nominee for any major political party in 2016.
If Harris wins in November, she would become the first female President of the United States.

Clinton’s speech is expected to come just before Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, gives his address.
