The fourth and final day of the 2024 Democratic National Convention begins in Chicago on Thursday, following appearances and speeches on Wednesday by figures such as former President Bill Clinton, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, among others.
Tonight, numerous other top Democratic Party politicians will give speeches before Vice President Kamala Harris accepts the party’s presidential nomination.
The convention comes after a turbulent few months for the Democrats, stemming from Biden’s disastrous performance in the debate against former President Donald Trump on June 27. Biden has since decided not to seek re-election and has endorsed Harris as his candidate.
Here’s a look at the full program for Thursday’s convention.
