The 2020 Democratic Convention originally scheduled for July 13-17 at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee has been rescheduled for the week of August 17 due to the coronavirus outbreak.

According to messaging on the DNC website:

Ensuring the safety of the convention’s host community and all convention-goers has been—and always will remain—the top priority of the Democratic National Convention Committee. As we continue to monitor the unpredictable and unprecedented public health emergency, we remain in constant communication with the local, state, and federal officials responsible for protecting public health and security, and will continue to follow their guidance.

This will be Wisconsin’s first time hosting a political party’s national convention.
