Watch Live: DNC kicks off Day 1 with President Biden set to headline

The Democrats are kicking off their convention in Chicago on Monday night, with President Biden set to headline and first lady Jill Biden and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also set to speak as well.

While Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz have already been nominated via a virtual roll call, Democrats are set to hold a ceremonial vote Monday to formally nominate them. 

Although Monday's theme is officially "Fight for Our Future," Democrats on Monday are hoping to project a theme of unity despite the upheaval this summer that led to Mr. Biden dropping out of the race and being replaced with Harris at the top of the ticket.
