For four days, from July 25 to 28, the Democratic National Convention will descend on Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Center to celebrate Hillary Clinton’s nomination, along with her VP pick, Tim Kaine. The event will see the likes of Barack and Michelle Obama, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Joe Biden, along with celebrity support from Katy Perry and Lena Dunham.
Monday’s theme is “United Together,” and the gavel time is expected to be 4:30 pm Eastern time. Headlining speakers will be first lady Michelle Obama, Bernie Sanders, and DREAMer Astrid Silva. On Tuesday, the roll call vote to officially nominate Hillary Clinton begins, with the night’s theme being “A Lifetime of Fighting for Children and Families.”
Unlike the RNC, which was heavy on D-List celebrities and light on notable Republican politicians, the DNC is packed with prominent politicians, social activities, and celebrities.
