UPDATED: DNC Speaker Schedule (Original Post) demmiblue Aug 2020 OP
No Rice, no Bass? dem4decades Aug 2020 #1
I missed that. Perhaps they are speaking during the day (rather than prime time)? hlthe2b Aug 2020 #3
Or maybe one is the VP pick? Trumpocalypse Aug 2020 #5
There are no non-prime time speeches... brooklynite Aug 2020 #8
Looks like Warren and Harris aren't the VP picks. I'm hoping it's Rice. BComplex Aug 2020 #18
If Harris was the pick, wouldn't it make sense for her to speak right before Biden and his family? bearsfootball516 Aug 2020 #27
Yep! nt Andy823 Aug 2020 #29
Biden has an anti-food agenda. Renew Deal Aug 2020 #26
Good line-up. hlthe2b Aug 2020 #2
Harris, Warren, Duckworth and Whitmer Trumpocalypse Aug 2020 #4
Rice, Demings and Bass. Out of those three I think I might prefer Demings. dem4decades Aug 2020 #7
I totally prefer Rice. She'd make a great compliment to Joe on the ticket. BComplex Aug 2020 #19

Kamala Harris is the third last to speak on the last night, which is interesting. OnDoutside Aug 2020 #12
I would like to see Beto O'Rourke speak. He is doing so much to help Democrats in Texas JI7 Aug 2020 #11
I bet he will. This isn't the complete list, just prime time (I think). nt PunkinPi Aug 2020 #14
Where is Chris Dodd ? JI7 Aug 2020 #16
Why would you expect a Chris Dodd speech? SharonClark Aug 2020 #24
Kamala Harris seems out of place in that slot JI7 Aug 2020 #17
It may be a consolation prize or it may be She was a friend of Beau judeling Aug 2020 #20
Yes, and she goes right before the Biden family. That may be a "tell". She may be the VP nominee. BComplex Aug 2020 #22
And Chris Coons is a close friend of Biden and they usually speak right before the family JI7 Aug 2020 #23
These are all going to be given from their homes , right ? JI7 Aug 2020 #21
Well, this is doing what it's supposed to, but I'll wait for the revised final version... JHB Aug 2020 #25
No slot for Buttigieg dsc Aug 2020 #28
Hopefully this is not a final list JI7 Aug 2020 #30

In the newly structured Convention format speeches aren't programmed until 9 PM.

all are scheduled to speak. The VP nominee also has a speaking slot. What does that say? I’ll note that Rice and Demings are not scheduled to speak.

She's well-spoken, strong, brilliant, and I think will help restore the dignity to the White House that the country deserves.

and was updated on 7/25. Hillary made her announcement on 7/22, so it was probably updated to modify the list of speakers.

It wouldn't really make sense for Kamala Harris to speak between Coons and the Biden family .

The one that may have some additions, and a name replacing the place-holder.

The guessing game holds no interest for me. If it does for you, no problems, have fun.

that is pretty outrageous. He won Iowa, came in 2nd in NH, was the first openly gay candidate to win any presidential primary contest. To say I am disappointed is an understatement. On edit apparently he is speaking, that is good.

Did we just get some tea spilled or is this list purposely out of order to make it a mystery?
