2024 Democratic National Convention Set for Chicago

The 2024 Democratic National Convention in Chicago will feature a series of celebrity hosts for each evening, including Kerry Washington, Mindy Kaling, Ana Navarro, and Tony Goldwyn, who will guide the event over four nights. The convention kicks off on August 19, 2024, with each host making opening remarks and making appearances throughout the evening, culminating in Vice President Kamala Harris's acceptance of the Democratic nomination on Thursday. Additionally, 'The Daily Show' will broadcast live from the Athenaeum Center, with Jon Stewart hosting the finale and various correspondents taking over earlier nights. The convention has attracted numerous Hollywood stars, with events planned around the convention, including performances by John Legend and appearances by notable figures like Hillary Clinton. While the involvement of celebrities has been met with excitement by some, critics have voiced concerns about the potential for a 'cringey' atmosphere. Overall, the DNC aims to combine political discourse with entertainment to engage a wider audience.
