The Democratic National Convention is all online for the first time. So how can you watch it for free?
This year’s Democratic National Convention, which was originally set to take place in Milwaukee, has gone virtual because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The convention is scheduled to kick off Monday and run until Thursday. The main programming begins at 9 p.m. and ends at 11 p.m. ET.
Joe Biden is expected to accept his party’s nomination on Thursday evening from the Chase Center on the Riverfront in his hometown of Wilmington, Delaware.
