Vice President Kamala Harris is set to formally accept the Democratic Party’s nomination at the convention, which will kick off in Chicago on Aug. 19.

Several prominent Democratic figures are set to speak at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago this month, two sources familiar with the plans told NBC News.

President Joe Biden, former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have been confirmed as speakers at the convention. Obama and the Clintons delivered speeches during the 2020 DNC, which was largely held virtually to prevent the spread of Covid-19 amid the pandemic.

A source familiar said that former President Jimmy Carter’s grandson Jason Carter is also confirmed to be speaking as a representative for his grandfather.

    Dubya’s the only other former Republican president who’s still alive. Kinda funny that the last Republican president before him and Trump was Bush Sr. in 1992.

      Dubya was endorsed by his father. This is Trump’s third election. That’s why it says the third time in a row.

        It’s actually his fourth - he ran in 2000 as well. But not as a Republican.

          You’re right. I forgot about his Reform Party run.
