2020 DNC Day 1: John Kasich, Michelle Obama, Bernie Sanders set to speak
The Democratic National Convention is set to kick off Monday night with a slate of speakers from both sides of the aisle scheduled to speak in support of presumptive presidential nominee Joe Biden.
Democrats are using Monday to show support from opposite ends of the political spectrum, with speeches from Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., who was Biden’s final primary opponent, and former Ohio Gov.
