Election: Here’s how to watch the Democratic convention — plus who’s speaking, and when

Now read:Democrats to open convention like no other as Biden’s big party goes virtual.

And since the convention this year is largely a visual event, Democrats say there will be plenty of ways to watch it.

Speeches are scheduled to run from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. Eastern each night. Democrats’ own web site will carry the addresses live, and the party says the proceedings will be available on platforms like YouTube GOOGL, -0.79% GOOG, -0.70% and Facebook FB, -0.02%. Networks like ABC and NBC reportedly plan to carry an hour of live coverage each night, while cable-news outlets like CNN will have coverage before, during and after the regular hours, reports the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

In addition to Biden and Harris, the speakers’ list contains familiar, party-stalwart names like Bill Clinton and Andrew Cuomo, and also reflects an effort by Biden to join progressives and establishment Democrats.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, another progressive standard-bearer, will speak Tuesday night. President Donald Trump’s campaign, eager to paint Biden as beholden to the far left of his party, seized on the New York congresswoman’s inclusion on the roster:

Former President Barack Obama is scheduled to speak on Wednesday, as is Harris. Biden announced his pick of the California senator as his running mate on Tuesday, choosing her over other candidates that included former national-security adviser Susan Rice and Rep. Karen Bass. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who had been another possible pick, is also slated to speak Wednesday.

Now see:Biden’s selection of Harris is ‘modestly positive’ for cannabis industry, but ‘negative for financial stocks,’ analysts say.
