With her scheduled to speak Monday, it’s less likely Whitmer will be picked for Joe Biden’s running mate. The AP had reported Whitmer traveled to Delaware last weekend to meet with Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee’s first known in-person session with a potential running mate as he neared a decision.

The DNC will run Aug. 17 through Aug. 20 at the Wisconsin Center. It was originally scheduled for July 13-16 but was pushed back a month due to the coronavirus pandemic. Most of the convention will now be held remotely.

You can watch it nightly beginning Aug. 17 from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m.
