The 2024 Democratic National Convention is a presidential nominating convention in which delegates of the United States Democratic Party will select the party's nominees for president and vice president in the 2024 United States presidential election. It is scheduled to be held August 19 to 22, 2024, at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois.[3][1]
By tradition,[4] because the Democratic Party currently holds the White House, its convention will be conducted after the 2024 Republican National Convention, which was held from July 15 to 18, 2024. Following President Joe Biden's decision on July 21 to withdraw his candidacy,[5] which has been described as starting a campaign "unlike any in modern times",[6] there is a possibility that this will be an open convention for the first time since 1968, and the first one subsequent to the McGovern–Fraser Commission candidate selection process reforms.[7][8][9] This has been supported by notable Democrats including Nancy Pelosi; others, in contrast, have been worried about the prospect of splitting the party through it.[7] Kamala Harris, the current Vice President of the United States, was endorsed by President Biden shortly after his announcement to withdraw, and is making a bid for the party's presidential nomination at the convention.[10]
