The 2024 Democratic National Convention was a presidential nominating convention in which delegates of the United States Democratic Party voted on their party platform and ceremonially reported their vote to nominate Vice President Kamala Harris for president and her chosen running mate Governor Tim Walz for vice president in the 2024 presidential election.[5] It was held from August 19 to 22, 2024, at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois. Delegates virtually nominated Harris and Walz earlier in the first week of August. Harris is the first Black woman and first South Asian woman to be the presidential nominee of a major political party in the United States,[6] and the first Democratic presidential nominee from the Western United States.[7][b]
Earlier, on March 12, incumbent President Joe Biden became the presumptive nominee, running against what a reporter at NBC News called "token opposition" during the primaries.[9] 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.[10] 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,[11][12] 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".[13]
