Comparing the 2024 Convention to the 2020 Virtual Convention
In contrast to the virtual 2020 convention due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s convention promises to bring together prominent party leaders and rising stars. The 2020 virtual convention saw speeches from Barack and Michelle Obama, Bill and Hillary Clinton, and former rivals such as Bernie Sanders, Amy Klobuchar, and Cory Booker.
With a focus on unity, enthusiasm, and showcasing the future direction of the party, the 2024 Democratic National Convention is gearing up to be a defining moment for the Democratic Party.
