The four-day convention, starting Monday, follows President Joe Biden’s decision last month to end his reelection campaign. Over 4,000 delegates have gathered in Chicago to officially recognize Harris as the Democratic nominee and to finalize the party’s platform. (AP photo)
The convention is being held at the United Center and McCormick Place, with the evening events taking place at the United Center. Chicago, a Democratic stronghold, last hosted the DNC in 1996 when the then-President Bill Clinton was running for reelection. (AP photo)
