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.

      You realize I’m not the first person you replied to, to whom you asked “Who is Anita Couch” to, right?

      It was also on Threads in response to the daily beast article, posted on r/LGBT, r/politicalhumor, r/djt_uncrnsored, whitepeopletwitter, etc all yesterday on reddit, as well as on x (mostly from @RightWingCope as far ss I know), others used #SofaLoren when posting.

      As the picture came out yesterday…

      Yes, it’s trending. You not having heard it yet doesn’t change that. Next time, you could search for “Anita Couch JD Vance” (replacing with whatever recent shenanigans that come out of the Trump campaign), and you could get the info rather than respond in the way that you did.

        As the initial post did not mention JD Vance I did indeed a Google search for Anita Couch and got a lot of furniture as result.

        I am here on lemmy because I do not use Reddit. Nor Twitter or Facebook.

          Yes, and I said it was JD Vance, and that was the point you could have looked it up yourself rather than give the reply you gave.

          I don’t use Twitter, Facebook, or Reddit either. I knew they were there because quite a few articles have come out and been updated since Sunday, many of which were linked right here on Lemmy.
