Biden, Obama among keynote speakers at Chicago DNC – NBC Chicago

The 2024 Democratic National Convention in Chicago will feature speeches from President Joe Biden and several former Democratic presidents, according to an NBC News report.

Although an official schedule of speeches for the upcoming convention has not yet been released, NBC News reported that former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton are expected to address Democratic delegates and supporters.

In addition to Bill Clinton, former First Lady and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is also expected to speak, as well as Jason Carter, the grandson of former President Jimmy Carter, who will represent Carter.

The convention, which runs from August 19-22, comes just over a week after Vice President Kamala Harris officially secured the Democratic nomination following a whirlwind within the Democratic Party that began with President Biden withdrawing from the 2024 race.

Last week, Harris announced Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate for the November general election. Both candidates are also expected to deliver speeches ceremonially accepting their nominations.

The full list of speakers at the convention remains to be determined.
