Biden, Obama, and the Clintons will be speakers at DNC in Chicago – Washington Examiner

The 2024 Democratic National Convention will feature speeches from President Joe Biden and two former living Democratic presidents. 

A new report from NBC News revealed Biden, ex-Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, and former secretary of state and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will speak at the event. The DNC will take place next week in Chicago from Aug. 19 to Aug. 22. 

Those familiar with the planning of the DNC also said former President Jimmy Carter’s grandson will speak on behalf of his grandfather. This means the families of all living Democratic presidents will be in attendance at the event. Former President George W. Bush, the only living Republican president besides Trump, did not attend this year’s Republican National Convention. 

It is unclear the order in which these big-name Democrats will speak throughout the week. Biden is reportedly expected to speak on the first night of the convection as the programming of the convention that night will focus on Biden’s political legacy and his administration’s accomplishments.

“Monday night is Joe’s night, and then he’ll turn the keys over,” a source familiar with the planning of the DNC told CNN.

Despite being the president, Biden’s speech will be the first time he has addressed the convention as the leader of the party since the 2020 Democratic National Convention was moved to a virtual format due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Vice President Kamala Harris Harris will accept the party’s nomination on Thursday night. Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), her running mate, is expected to address the convention on Wednesday. Harris’s husband, second gentleman Doug Emhoff, is also expected to address the convention.
