It will be held in Philadelphia.

The DNC 2016 starts at 2 p.m. central time on Monday July 25.

CSPAN will broadcast the entire convention from start to finish so that’s a good option for TV channel viewing. Primetime broadcast times will vary each night.

There’s little doubt Hillary Clinton will get the nomination but the suspense remains as to who Clinton’s vice president running mate will be. Stay tuned.

First Lady Michelle Obama and Sen. Bernie Sanders are scheduled to speak on Monday.
