Democratic National Convention pushed back a month to mid-August

Published April 2, 2020 4:11pm ET



Democrats have moved their convention to start Aug. 17 as the coronavirus pandemic threatens to plague the country until the summer.

The 2020 Democratic National Convention was originally scheduled to take place in Milwaukee from July 13-16. Still set to be held in Wisconsin, the new August date falls one week before the Republican National Convention, which will be hosted in Charlotte, North Carolina, from Aug. 24-27.
