The speakers represent a wide political spectrum of support for former Vice President Joe Biden . Sanders is a key leader of the left-wing of the Democratic Party while Kasich ran for the GOP nomination for president in 2016. The convention will also include remarks from Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren on Wednesday, Aug. 19, a Democratic official familiar with the convention schedule confirmed to CNN. This year Democrats will move the event online and programming will be condensed, running for only two hours each night. The convention is slated to take place from August 17-20, after Democrats pushed their convention back by a month because of the coronavirus pandemic.
