July 24 (UPI) — Democratic Party Chairman Tom Perez said the national nominating convention in Milwaukee next month is planning to go ahead as scheduled, albeit in a limited capacity.
Perez said the convention will run from Aug. 17-20 at the Wisconsin Center, but attendance will be limited and most events will be held virtually to mitigate spread of the coronavirus. Presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden has said he plans to make his acceptance speech in person at the event, but delegates will cast their formal nominating votes remotely.
