The Democratic National Convention, albeit a much-scaled down and largely virtual version, kicks off on Aug. 17 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. What’s the schedule for Milwaukee DNC day 1? Who’s speaking Monday?

The headliners for Monday, Aug. 17: Former First Lady Michelle Obama and U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders. It’s also been announced that some Republicans will be speaking in support of Joe Biden: Former Ohio Gov. John Kasich, former GOP Rep. Susan Molinari from Staten Island, and Meg Whitman, the former eBay and Hewlett-Packard CEO.

“Join us on Monday, August 17 from 9-11 pm ET for the first night of the 2020 Democratic National Convention, where we’ll hear from the many Americans who are rising up to take on the crises facing our country and join Joe Biden in rebuilding the country and moving it forward,” the DNC wrote.

If you’d rather watch it on television, here’s what The New York Times says about that:

The major broadcast networks, ABC, CBS and NBC, plan to carry an hour of the convention live each night, from 10 to 11 p.m. on the East Coast. Cable news channels will air the two-hour nightly proceedings in full, but the Democrats’ jampacked schedule poses a risk that local affiliates in swing states could cut away at 11 p.m. if speakers aren’t wrapped up.

President Donald Trump is counter programming the DNC by appearing in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, on Monday afternoon. You can learn more about the president’s visit here.
