How to Watch the Democratic National Convention

On Thursday, the fourth and last night of the Democratic National Convention, Joseph R. Biden Jr. will finally take the stage — a stage, anyway, albeit hundreds of miles from the one in Milwaukee where he would have accepted the presidential nomination he has sought for more than 30 years.

Also on the docket are three of Mr. Biden’s former competitors in the Democratic primary: Michael R. Bloomberg, Cory Booker and Pete Buttigieg. Scroll down for a full list of speakers.

How to watch

The convention will air from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. Eastern time on Thursday. There are several ways to watch:

• If you have an Alexa device, you can say “Alexa, play the Democratic National Convention.”

Who’s speaking

The star of the night will, of course, be former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., the Democratic presidential nominee. Members of his family will also speak. Julia Louis-Dreyfus will be the night’s M.C.

The other major speakers are:

• Senator Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin. A favorite of progressive Democrats, she is the first openly gay senator and was seen as a vice-presidential contender.

• Former Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg of New York. A former Republican turned major gun control benefactor, he ran a hugely expensive campaign for the Democratic nomination but was dogged by his record on policing.

• Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey, who was also a Democratic primary candidate. He focused his campaign on a message of unity and was a leader on gun policy: the first candidate in the field to propose a licensing requirement, which more than half of his opponents ended up supporting.

• Former Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Ind. He emerged on top at the Iowa caucuses but faded in subsequent primaries and, ultimately, endorsed Mr. Biden before Super Tuesday. At just 38, he could be a prominent figure in Democratic politics for quite some time.

• Senator Chris Coons of Delaware. He holds the Senate seat that Mr. Biden once held, and if Mr. Biden wins in November, Mr. Coons is likely to be one of his strongest supporters in the Senate.

• Senator Tammy Duckworth of Illinois. A popular senator and veteran whose legs were amputated after her helicopter was shot down in Iraq, she was under consideration to be Mr. Biden’s running mate.

• Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms of Atlanta. She became an unexpected contender for the vice-presidential spot as a result of her response to Black Lives Matter protests in Atlanta after the killing of Mr. Floyd.

• Gov. Gavin Newsom of California. As the leader of the nation’s most populous state, Mr. Newsom was on the front lines of the early response to the coronavirus pandemic and managed to keep infection rates in California relatively low at first, though they spiked later.
