For Illinois delegates, a ‘totally bizarre’ Democratic convention from the couch
When the Democratic National Convention gets underway Monday, no delegates will be traveling to Milwaukee, Wisc., with the coronavirus pandemic is still coursing through the country. Neither will any of the speakers. Not even Biden will accept the party’s nomination in the key swing state’s largest city.Instead, virtually all of the convention will be held remotely — four nights of solely-for-TV festivities, capped by Biden’s speech on Thursday night.
