2024 Democratic National Convention Explained
The 2024 Democratic National Convention is an ongoing presidential nominating convention in which delegates of the United States Democratic Party will vote on the party platform and ceremonially report their vote to nominate Vice President Kamala Harris for president and affirm her choice of Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota for vice president in the 2024 presidential election, accepting his nomination for the Vice President of the United States on August 21, 2024.[4] It is currently being held from August 19 to 22, 2024, at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois.[1] Delegates nominated Harris for president through online and phone voting that lasted from August 1 to 5. Harris is the first Black woman and first South Asian person to be the presidential nominee of a major political party in the United States,[5] and the first Democratic presidential nominee from the Western United States.[6]
Earlier, on March 12, incumbent President Joe Biden became the presumptive nominee against "token opposition" during the primaries.[7] Conflicts with ballot deadlines led the Democratic National Committee to vote on June 20 to allow an early online nomination vote. Following his June 27 debate performance and decision on July 21 to withdraw his candidacy, Biden endorsed Harris.[8] With the other most viable presidential prospects endorsing Harris, she secured the support of enough convention delegates to make her the new presumptive nominee the next day,[9] [10] and Harris was the only candidate with enough delegate support to be on the ballot. The atypical circumstances were described by The New York Times as starting a campaign "unlike any in modern times".[11]

Early developments
Amid the downsizing of the 2020 Democratic National Convention held in various parts of the United States, including its main host city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in a virtual format impacted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there was discussion among some notable individuals in Milwaukee about the city pushing to receive the 2024 convention as consolation.[12] [13] [14] Speculation existed that, due to the circumstances surrounding the downsizing of the 2020 convention, Milwaukee would be a front-runner to host the convention if it pursued it.[15] Milwaukee mayor Tom Barrett was open to the city hosting either a Democratic or Republican convention in 2024.[16]
In the summer of 2021, Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison sent letters to over twenty cities inviting them to bid to host the convention.[17]
Officials in Columbus, Ohio, had, since at least 2019, discussed trying to seek either the Democratic or Republican convention in 2024.[18]
After being one of approximately twenty cities that Harrison invited to bid, Barrett wrote Harrison a letter indicating the city's interest in hosting the party's 2024 convention.[19] [20] Milwaukee was also bidding to host the 2024 Republican National Convention.[21]
Nashville, Tennessee, took action to pursue the Democratic Convention. Nashville also bid to host the Republican National Convention.[21]
Top Democrats from Illinois, including Governor J. B. Pritzker, Senator Tammy Duckworth, and Mayor Lori Lightfoot, laid the groundwork to host the convention in Chicago.[22] Chicago has hosted the most major-party presidential nominating conventions of any city (14 Republican, 11 Democratic). The 1968 Democratic National Convention was mired in violence between anti-war demonstrators and the Chicago Police Department. The most recent convention (1996 Democratic National Convention) saw the renomination of Bill Clinton and Al Gore.[23] On May 3, 2022, Chicago launched a website to promote the city as a potential host for the convention.[24] Facilities in Chicago mentioned as potential primary venues include the United Center, Wintrust Arena, and Navy Pier.[25]
In May 2022, Atlanta and New York City also announced bids for the convention.[26] [27] New York City had not previously been expected to bid.
Official bid process
Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, and New York City submitted bids by the May 28, 2022, deadline.[28] In January 2023, Democratic National Committee officials confirmed that the finalist cities would be Atlanta, Chicago, and New York City, with Houston no longer being considered.[29]
Early into Chicago's bid, in addition to proposing United Center as the primary venue and McCormick Place as a possible venue for secondary convention business, Museum Campus, Navy Pier, and Wintrust Arena were also additionally floated as facilities that could additionally be used for secondary convention business.[30] [31] The Chicago bid was chiefly championed by Illinois Governor J. B. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot. Bid supporters touted the city's large airports, cultural attractions, and the central location of the convention venues and the hotels where delegates and other visitors would stay. They argued that Chicago's location in the Midwest would be wise given the high importance for the Democrats of the nearby "Blue Wall" states of Wisconsin and Michigan. Democratic Party leaders in other Midwestern states threw their support behind Chicago's bid.[32] They also touted that the city's hotels generally employ union laborers. Governor Pritzker, a billionaire who had contributed large sums to the organization fundraising for Chicago's effort, made a pledge to the Democratic Party that the party itself would not incur any financial losses from the organization of the convention.[33] The remaining mayoral candidates in the 2023 Chicago mayoral election runoff, Brandon Johnson and Paul Vallas, vowed to support the city's effort to host the convention.[34] The victory of the progressive Johnson over the more conservative Vallas in the city's runoff election was speculated to have helped Chicago's prospects.[35]
Supporters of Atlanta's bid argued that a convention in their city could aid the Democrats in making political inroads in the South,[36] touting the city's history in civil rights activism and its state's recent ascendence in 2020 to become a key swing state in presidential and U.S. Senate elections. These points were countered by New York and Chicago backers, who criticized the city's lack of unionized hotels and the state's "Right to Work" law as discordant with the party's alliance with organized laborers.
On April 11, 2023, it was announced that Chicago had been selected as the convention's location, with the United Center to serve as the primary venue and McCormick Place to be a secondary facility used for various early-day convention activities.[37] Chicago and the previously selected Republican National Convention host city, Milwaukee, are approximately 90 miles apart on the coast of Lake Michigan. Not since 1972, when both conventions last shared a host city, have the major party convention sites been so closely located.[38] Illinois is regarded to be a solidly Democratic state.[39] No party has opted to hold their convention in a non-swing state since the 2004 election, though Chicago is within a few hours' drive of the swing states of Wisconsin and Michigan.[40]
Logistics
The convention is being held August 19–22, 2024. The United Center, previously the location of the 1996 Democratic National Convention, is the convention's primary location. McCormick Place is hosting secondary business of the convention. The convention is anticipated to be attended by between 5,000 and 7,000 delegates and alternate delegates. Approximately thirty hotels in the city are providing lodging to convention delegates. The convention is expected to bring an overall 50,000 visitors to Chicago.[37]
There are three funding sources for the convention. The bid committee pledged that the host committee would raise $84.697 million. Through 2024 Democratic National Convention Committee Inc., money will be raised in accordance with the Federal Election Commission's regulations. Additionally, $50 million will be received in federal funds for security costs, as has been the case for all major party conventions since 2004. An effort is underway to urge Congress to increase this to $75 million. The Democratic National Committee also requested the bidding cities agree to open a $30 million line of credit, which Chicago agreed to do.[42]
Convention leadership
On August 8, 2023, convention leadership was announced. Minyon Moore was named the chair of the convention.[43] Alex Hornbrook was named executive director, and Louisa Terrell was named a senior advisor. In his role as senior advisor to the Biden Victory Fund, Roger Lau was assigned an expanded role to provide advice to the convention leadership.[44]
Security
$50million in federal funding will be provided for security spending.[42] As a major party presidential nominating convention, the 2024 Democratic National Convention has been designated a National Special Security Event. It will be the second such event held in Chicago to receive this designation, with the first having been the 2012 NATO Summit. By June 2023, the United States Secret Service had begun collaborating on preparations for the convention with the Chicago Police Department and other police departments that will be involved in convention security.[45]
Protests and demonstrations related to the U.S. government's support for Israel in their ongoing invasion of Gaza are expected to emerge while the convention is being held. In preparation for the event, party leaders demonstrated confidence in Chicago Police and federal officials to manage protestors, using such methods as drawing set parameters for demonstrations to take place, as well as initiating mass arrests in cases of these regulations being violated. As of April 2024, organizers expect as many as 30,000 protestors in Chicago during the convention.[46] Commentators have drawn comparisons between the upcoming convention and the 1968 convention, also held in Chicago, in which protests opposed to the Vietnam War turned violent when the city utilized extreme levels of police brutality to suppress the protestors.[47] [48]
In May 2024, Politico reported that party leaders were considering limiting in-person gatherings at United Center to primetime sessions only to reduce the possibility of disruption, which would include holding official business to McCormick Place (and the possibility of the formal certification taking place before the convention due to conflicts with deadline requirements in Ohio), and retaining elements of 2020's convention (including a focus on prerecorded segments such as the virtual roll call).[49]
In light of the assassination attempt on Donald Trump on July13, the Secret Service will secure the United Center and the immediate area surrounding it, and the Chicago Police Department will secure everything outside the inner perimeter, with both agencies securing rooftops of all buildings that may have a line of sight to the United Center.[50]
On August12, the first round of parking restrictions took effect for the DNC in Chicago.[51] Some residents such as people at a senior living apartment complex near major Democratic National Convention sites in Chicago are confused and frustrated with new no-parking zone restrictions outside the Chicago DNC perimeter.[52] They say no-parking signs have started appearing on their streets, even though they are outside the convention's car-free zones. These residents found it an unwelcome surprise to lose their street parking, which they claim is now interfering with their day-to-day lives.[53]
Organizations such as Samidoun,[54] Code Pink,[55] the ANSWER Coalition[56] and several others[57] [58] plan to demonstrate and generate publicity.
Adoption of early virtual nomination vote
By tradition,[59] because the Democratic Party held the White House, its convention was scheduled for after the 2024 Republican National Convention, starting on August 19. In April, Ohio officials warned the Biden campaign that they would not delay Ohio's August 7, deadline to get on the ballot, as Ohio had done in 2012 and 2020. On May 28, the Democratic National Committee proposed an early online nomination vote, but its Rules and Bylaws Committee needed to vote on amending the call to the convention, and the full Democratic National Committee needed to vote on adopting the amendment.[60] On June 2, Ohio passed a law delaying its deadline, but because the law was set to take effect at the end of August, the DNC said it would continue with a virtual roll call vote in order to avoid litigation from Republicans.[61] On June 4, the Democratic National Committee's Rules and Bylaws Committee voted to amend the call to let the Democratic National Convention Committee to advance the convention's dates and to allow the convention's committees to adopt the permanent rules and permanent list of delegates early for the virtual nomination vote.[61] [62] On June 20, the full Democratic National Committee voted 360 to 2 to approve the amendment for an official online nomination vote before Ohio's deadline.[63]
After Biden's performance at the June presidential debate caused concern among Democrats, some House Democrats circulated a letter on July 16 proposing that the "virtual roll call" vote be cancelled,[64] fearing it would occur the next week.[65] On July 17, the DNC decided that the virtual roll call vote should be no earlier than August 1 after concerns from House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.[66] On July 19, the Democratic National Convention's Rules Committee met to deliberate on the virtual nomination vote but went into recess without adopting any rules.[67] After Biden withdrew from the nomination on July 21 and gave Harris his endorsement, Harris said she did not want a virtual roll call and preferred a process that follows regular order.[68] On July 22, the DNC laid out a draft plan[69] affirming a virtual nomination vote in the first week of August.[70] On July 24, the Democratic National Convention's Rules Committee passed the draft rules for the early virtual nomination vote by a vote of 157 to 3.[71]
The abbreviated campaign
On July 21, presumptive nominee President Joe Biden announced that he would not seek reelection. That same day, he endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee.[72] Biden dropping out freed the DNC delegates bound to him from their pledge to vote for his nomination.[73] A couple of hours after Biden's announcement, Harris announced her candidacy for the Democratic nomination.[74] The Biden campaign officially changed its name to Harris for President and officially registered Harris as its presidential candidate.[75] [76] Key progressive voices swiftly rallied behind Harris, with Reps. Cori Bush,[77] Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Ayanna Pressley,[78] and Indivisible endorsing her.[79]
The next day, Harris secured tentative support from well beyond the majority of convention delegates needed to win the upcoming vote and become the party's nominee for president.[80] By July 23, leaders of the party, such as former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi,[81] House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer[82] coalesced around Harris's candidacy, including those mentioned as the other most viable prospects such as Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer[83] and California Governor Gavin Newsom.[84]
Marianne Williamson initially called for an open convention,[85] but eventually declined to file for nomination before the deadline.[86] On the day of Biden's withdrawal, U.S. Senator Joe Manchin, who left the Democratic Party in May 2024, was reported to be considering a presidential run against Harris at the convention,[87] though by the following day, he had ruled it out.[88] Also, on the day that Biden withdrew from the race, U.S. Congressman Dean Phillips proposed a straw poll of delegates ahead of the Democratic National Convention to determine the party's top four presidential contenders, who would then take part in four town halls outlining their platforms.[89] After the town halls, Phillips proposed the delegates would vote to choose the nominee.[90] [91] On July 24, Jason Palmer released his delegates and encouraged them to vote for Harris at the convention.
Candidates were to be formally nominated beginning July 25[92] and ending at 6pm EDT on July 27.[93] Candidates needed to accrue the support of at least 300 delegates each, with no more than 50 from any one state delegation, by 6pm EDT on July 30. Delegates could vote for any candidate, but votes for candidates who are not Democrats would be counted as "present".[94] Formal requests to nominate Harris and several others (including Ralph Hoffman, Gibran Nicholas, and Robby Wells) were made before the July 27 deadline, but only Harris passed the threshold of at least 300 delegates,[95] gaining the support of 3,923 delegates. There was also an option to abstain from voting for the Democratic National Committee's presidential nominee, chosen by the Alaska Congresswoman Mary Peltola and Montana Senator Jon Tester.[96]
The virtual nomination took place from August 1 to August 5. The delegates voted online, through a secure email system, or over the phone.[97] On August 4, twenty-nine Uncommitted delegates from eight states took part in a virtual roll call where they voted for Palestinian victims over Harris.[98] On August 2, Harris earned a majority of delegate votes[99] and became the official presidential nominee when voting closed on August 5.[100]
Delegate support by candidate
The "Pledged delegates by candidate" column below reflects the delegate count after the 2024 Democratic Party presidential primaries, while the "Final virtual roll call results" column reflects the totals following the virtual roll call that nominated Kamala Harris. Superdelegates were allowed to vote during the signature collection and the virtual roll call.[101]
Vice presidential nomination
See main article: article and 2024 Democratic Party vice presidential candidate selection. Some speculated candidates included Governors Andy Beshear of Kentucky, Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, and Tim Walz of Minnesota, Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona, and Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg of Michigan.[106] Governor Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan declined consideration for the nomination, while Governor Roy Cooper of North Carolina withdrew his name from consideration during vetting.[107] [108]
Harris chose Walz as her running mate on August 6[109] and the ticket was certified as nominated on the same night.[110]
Platform drafting process
On July 9, the convention's Platform Committee held a hearing in which there was a call for an end to U.S. military aid to the government of Israel.[111] On July 11, the committee held a meeting to draft the party platform. The draft did not include a call to end military aid to Israel, instead calling for an immediate and lasting ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. It also called for raising a billionaire income tax, lowering childcare costs for low-income families, investing in clean energy, codifying Roe v. Wade in the wake of the Supreme Court's 2022 decision to overturn it, advancing voting rights, banning assault weapons, and expanding Social Security and Medicare. Although it removed mentions of "Black lives matter", it included police reform and the studying of reparations. It removed a mention of Medicare for All but called for ending medical debt. It does not call for declaring a national climate emergency.[112] On July 16, the Platform Committee submitted the draft platform for the approval of the full convention.[113]
Schedule
There are two official venues for the convention:
The McCormick Place convention center (with lighter security) will host dozens of exhibitions, meetings and receptions, mostly during the daytime, and the United Center (with heavy security) will host the official business sessions and the main speakers.
Additionally, on August 20—prior to the start time of the convention's primetime speeches—Harris and Walz appeared and spoke at a related campaign rally inside of the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The Fiserv Forum is approximately 80miles from the United Center, and had weeks earlier been the main venue of the Republican National Convention.[114] Similarly to the Democratic Party's 2020 convention, each evening's program will feature a celebrity host.[115]
Below are the speakers and events at the United Center:[116]
First night (Monday, August 19: For the People)

Main programming began at 5:30PM Central. Listed below are select speakers in order of appearance.[122]
Second night (Tuesday, August 20: A Bold Vision for America's Future)

Another presidential grandson, John F. Kennedy’s grandson Jack Schlossberg, spoke as well.[127]
Delegates ceremonially reported voting results for the presidential nomination. Led by DJ Cassidy, each state's delegation was accompanied by their choice of background music during the roll call of the states, largely consisting of songs from artists from each respective state.[128] [129] [130]

Protests and demonstrations
Chicago is home to the nation's largest Palestinian ethnic enclave also known as "Little Palestine,"[179] and Chicago is the largest US city to pass a cease-fire resolution about the Israel-Hamas war.[180] One anonymous protester described the choice to bring the convention there as a "slap in the face."[181]
The first of seven permitted protests took place on Sunday. Hundreds marched along Michigan Avenue to Grant Park.[182]
Monday
The protests, organized around a coalition of 200 groups called "March On the DNC", represented causes including reproductive freedom, racial justice and opposition to the US role in the Israeli war against Gaza via an arms embargo, rallied in Union Park before proceeding to march.[183] The Poor People's Army rallied in Humboldt Park.
The crowd remained largely peaceful and was observed to be "significantly smaller than predicted".[184] Organizers planned for over 30 thousand people, but it appeared "only a few thousand showed up at Union Park".[185] Organizers claimed a turnout of 15,000 but according to the BBC, the actual turnout appeared to be lower.[186] Reuters estimated the turnout to be "several thousand".[187] A security gate was toppled.[188] Later, some protestors who returned to Union Park began setting up a tent encampment, but were peacefully dispersed by police.[189]
On the convention floor on Monday, during Joe Biden's speech, delegates from Connecticut, Michigan and Florida unfurled a banner that said "STOP ARMING ISRAEL" and were escorted out of the building.[190] [191] [192] The Council on American–Islamic Relations condemned a member of the crowd for assaulting the delegate protesters with "We Love Joe" signs. At least one of these protesters was Muslim and one was Jewish.[193] [194] Thirteen protesters were arrested on the first day.[195]
Joe Biden said the protesters "out on the street have a point" during his speech. Chants included From the River to the Sea, Palestine Will be Free, "End the occupation now!" and The whole world is watching!: a symbolic nod to the anti-Vietnam protests that occurred when the DNC was in Chicago in 1968.
Tuesday
On the second day of a protest, an additional layer of fencing was replaced overnight.[196] A group called "Behind Enemy Lines" planned a protest at the Israeli Consulate in Chicago. Flyers for the event said "Make it great like '68! Shut down the DNC for Gaza."[197] [198] Police blocked the group from marching minutes into the protest and arrested dozens of protesters dressed in black bloc who attempted to break through the line. More arrests occurred at the end of the night. Some protesters claimed they were arrested as they were trying to leave but Police Superintendent Larry Snelling denied that they had used the federally prohibited kettling tactic.[199] An organizer for CODEPINK unfurled a banner on the convention floor that said "Free Free Palestine."[200] [201]
Wednesday
A breakfast for delegates at a nearby hotel was disrupted when unknown individuals put maggots in food.[202] Organizers from CODEPINK disrupted a luncheon for women senators at a nearby restaurant.[203] A pro-Israel protest occurred at Union Park while a thousand pro-Palestinian protesters marched past it.[204] Uncommitted delegates including Minneapolis city council member Jeremiah Ellison began a sit-in on the sidewalk in front of the convention pledging to stay until the DNC leaders allow Palestinian voices speak from the main stage.[205]
