A member of the media makes his way to events of the 2020 Democratic National Convention winter media walk-through at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee on Jan. 7.as organizers try to navigate the fallout from the coronavirus pandemic.It's unclear how many days the convention will be held as planning remains in flux.
"After checking with hotels and venues and Fiserv, we determined the week of August 17 was the best week to move it to," he said.The move effectively sets off a logistical scramble to accommodate the thousands of delegates that will descend upon Milwaukee to nominate the Democratic ticket that will take on President Donald Trump in the fall.
The move was signaled Wednesday by Democratic frontrunner Joe Biden who told Jimmy Fallon of the"The Tonight Show,""I doubt whether the Democratic convention is going to be able to be held in mid-July or early July. I think it’s going to have to move into August." Biden added:"We were able to … in the middle of a Civil War all the way through to World War II have Democratic and Republican conventions and primaries and elections and still have public safety. And we're able to do both. But the fact is it may have to be different."This article originally appeared on Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:
