The Republican National Convention begins on Monday, August 24, ending on Thursday, August 27 with their party nomination.

The final night of the Democratic National Convention drew the event's biggest TV audience for nominee Joe Biden's acceptance speech. The 10 o'clock hour drew a combined 21.78 million viewers across ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, Fox News and MSNBC.

On the fourth and final night of the 2020 Democratic National Convention, Joe Biden had one main job: to convince voters that he’s not just the alternative to Donald Trump, but an honorable and worthy candidate in his own right. The Democratic primaries, which only ended this spring, were brackish and bruising, and the former vice president must know that he was far from the first choice of many in the party’s base.
