The president will speak at the Democratic national convention in Chicago on Monday night
The Democratic national convention is under way, with a primetime address scheduled tonight from Joe Biden.
The president’s speech in Chicago opens a convention that, until 21 July, was meant to serve as his coronation as the Democratic nominee in a re-election bid. Having dropped out, Biden will now use his convention speech as a chance to highlight the accomplishments of his administration, and support the Harris-Walz ticket.
