About our 2024 Democratic National Convention news
Latest news on the 2024 Democratic National Convention, providing comprehensive coverage of Kamala Harris's nomination, key speakers, policy platform, protests, and events in Chicago from 19-22 August.
The 2024 Democratic National Convention, held from 19-22 August at Chicago's United Center, marked a historic moment as Vice President Kamala Harris became the first Black woman and Asian American to lead a major party ticket. With over 4,000 delegates in attendance, the convention officially nominated Harris for president and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate.
Key speakers included former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, as well as Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and Pete Buttigieg. The convention adopted a platform focused on climate action, healthcare reform, and racial justice. However, the event was also marked by protests, particularly over US policy towards Israel and Gaza. Demonstrators clashed with police outside the venue on multiple nights.
Beyond the political speeches, the convention featured performances by artists like Stevie Wonder, John Legend and Patti LaBelle. Celebrity hosts including Kerry Washington and Mindy Kaling emceed different nights. The convention also made efforts to engage younger voters through partnerships with social media influencers and content creators.
Chicago last hosted the Democratic convention in 1996, and this year's event recalled the tumultuous 1968 convention in the city. The choice of Chicago aimed to emphasize the importance of Midwestern swing states. The convention followed an unusual campaign season, after President Joe Biden unexpectedly withdrew from the race in July and endorsed Harris.
