2020 Democratic National Convention: Night 1 Coverage
PBS NewsHour Special Coverage
Join the PBS NewsHour for special coverage of the Democratic National Convention's first night.
The 2020 Democratic National Convention is kicking off tonight, and the PBS NewsHour will be providing special coverage of the event. The convention will be held virtually this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but it will still feature speeches from high-profile politicians, including former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama. The convention will also include a speech from Vice President Joe Biden, who is the Democratic nominee for president. The PBS NewsHour's special coverage will begin at 8:00 PM ET and will be hosted by Judy Woodruff and Amna Nawaz.
The Democratic National Convention is a quadrennial event that brings together delegates from all 50 states and the District of Columbia to nominate the party's candidates for president and vice president. The convention also adopts the party's platform, which outlines the party's positions on a range of issues. The 2020 Democratic National Convention is particularly significant because it is the first time that a major political party has held a virtual convention.
The PBS NewsHour's special coverage of the Democratic National Convention will provide viewers with in-depth analysis of the speeches and events of the night. The NewsHour will also interview experts and guests to provide context and insight into the convention. Viewers can watch the NewsHour's special coverage on PBS, PBS.org, and the PBS NewsHour app.
