Election season is in full swing.
The 2020 Democratic National Convention concludes Thursday evening, and while the program is being conducted a little differently this year, the party has a full slate of virtual speakers and events.
On Thursday night, Former Vice President Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee, will accept his nomination from Delaware, near his home. Kamala Harris accepted her nomination as Vice President on this year's party ticket.
Where will it take place?
While limited party business has taken place in Milwaukee, where the convention was originally set to take place, speakers are delivering speeches from locations of their choosing.
The New York Times reports that party officials have advised remote speakers to set up cameras in "symbolic and visually interesting locations," to "add more visual pizzazz for those tuning in," rather than using bookcases and spare rooms in homes.
Caucus and council meetings that are scheduled during the days this week will also take place remotely, reports NPR.
Where can you watch?
The DNC will livestream the convention on its Youtube page. You can watch each night's program, Monday, Aug. 17, thru Thursday, Aug. 20, from 9pm - 11pm ET, directly below.
You can watch the fourth night of the convention program live below starting at 9pm ET on Thursday.
You can also watch highlights and recap the major moments from Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at these links.

There will also be performances by artists including The Chicks, Common, Billie Eilish, John Legend and more.

DNC's Explanation of Theme
A former public defender, a leading senator, and two-term vice president, Joe Biden is one of the most experienced candidates to ever seek the office. Throughout his career, he has been tested by historic recessions, global conflicts, pandemics, divisive politics, and the never-ending quest for justice and fairness in America. Every step of the way, he has risen to the moment with steady and effective leadership. Being president doesn't change who you are, it reveals who you are. Joe Biden is a man of character and decency, and of empathy and compassion who believes in America's promise. On the final night of the convention, we will hear from those who can speak to Joe Biden's leadership and character. Joe Biden will speak about his vision for uniting America to move us forward out of constant chaos and crisis, and for delivering on that promise for all.
