The DNC committee announced its speaker line-up, unveiling a list that includes both Barack and Michelle Obama, Jill Biden and a host of women Joe Biden has considered as his running mate.
The speaker list for the convention has been scaled back significantly after the coronavirus forced Democratic planners to scrap plans for an in-person event in Milwaukee and shrink most of the live programming to two hours each night from 9 p.m. ET to 11 p.m. ET.Michelle Obama and Jill Biden will headline the first two nights of the convention, and Joe Biden's running mate, along with former President Barack Obama, will deliver the keynote Wednesday evening.
John Kasich, who ran for the Republican nomination for president in 2016, is also slated to speak on the same evening. Former President Bill Clinton will speak ahead of Jill Biden on Tuesday. And Wednesday's notable speakers include an array of female leaders in the Democratic Party including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Warren, leading up to the female vice presidential nominee and a closing speech by former President Barack Obama.
