Watch Live: Democratic National Convention opening ceremonies in Chicago | CBS News Chicago
The Democratic National Convention kicks off Monday in Chicago, where the party is set to rally around its new presidential ticket after Vice President Kamala Harris officially became the Democratic nominee earlier this month.
Less than a month after President Biden announced he would step aside, shaking up the presidential race, Democrats from across the country are descending on Chicago’s United Center and McCormick Place for the convention, where the party will ceremonially anoint Harris — and her new running mate — as the party’s nominees. Mr. Biden will address the convention on Monday evening.
The bulk of Democratic delegates voted to select Harris as the party’s nominee early this month, cementing her status atop the ticket during a virtual roll call vote ahead of the convention. DNC leaders then certified Harris as the nominee, along with her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and President Joe Biden among those set to speak.
