The 2024 Democratic National Convention was a United States presidential nominating convention in which delegates of the United States Democratic Party voted on their party platform and ceremonially reported their vote to nominate Vice President Kamala Harris for president and her chosen running mate Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota for vice president in the 2024 United States presidential election. It was held from August 19 to 22, 2024, at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois. Delegates virtually nominated Harris and Walz the first week of August. Harris is the first Black woman and first Indian woman to be the presidential nominee of a major political party in the United States, and the first Democratic presidential nominee from the Western United States. Earlier, on March 12, incumbent President Joe Biden became the party's presumptive nominee, running against several candidates, which included an incumbent Democratic member of the United States House of Representatives during the 2024 Democratic Party presidential primaries.
