When is the RNC? Where is the RNC?
The 2024 Republican National Convention (RNC) is underway in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where a series of speakers have begun giving speeches announcing the party’s platform and GOP delegates have formally nominated former President Donald Trump and his newly announced running mate Senator JD Vance of Ohio on Monday to represent the party on the ballot in November.
Trump was warmly welcomed when he arrived at the convention on Monday, in his first public appearance since he was shot during an assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania two days earlier. The RNC will run through Thursday, July 18, when Trump is expected to give a prime-time speech.

When is the DNC? Where is the DNC?
Democrats will follow up with their own Democratic National Convention (DNC) next month in Chicago. It will run from Monday, August 19th to Thursday, August 22nd.
President Joe Biden is expected to be confirmed as the party’s nominee and Vice President Kamala Harris as his running mate — although that could still change in the coming weeks as tensions continue to rise within the party over suitability of Biden to serve another term. The Democratic Party said it will hold a “virtual call” before the convention to officially name your ticket.
