Democratic convention live updates: Joyce Beatty hits JD Vance; Joe Biden to speak

The Democratic National Convention is here.

President Joe Biden will take center stage on Monday, before Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz formally accept their nomination later this week. The president is expected to reflect on his 50-year career in politics, his decision to end his reelection bid and the Democratic Party's future as he passes the torch.

Other speakers on Monday evening will include first lady Jill Biden, Democratic lawmakers from across the country and former Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. On Monday and throughout the rest of the convention, Democrats will be focused on how a potential Harris-Walz administration would address inflation, the southern border, abortion rights and other top debates facing the nation.
