Already planning a scaled-down convention because of the coronavirus, Democratic Party officials are brainstorming ways to maintain some of the familiar pomp and circumstance that comes with nominating their presidential candidate. Among those ideas being considered are to have small complimentary gatherings
in other states as well as made-for-television programming featuring video addresses and musical guests.
Democratic National Committee and convention officials have begun approaching state party chairs to encourage them to gauge from their delegates the level of comfort and interest in attending the convention in person. One idea being floated is to have up to 20 percent of each state’s delegation represented in person, or to try and cap the total number of people who come to the Aug. 17 event, according to two sources familiar with the internal discussions.
Story continuesVeteran television producer Ricky Kirshner, who has produced the Super Bowl Pregame and Halftime Show along with every Democratic convention since Bill Clinton’s first, is heading this year’s event. And his background in television is considered an asset for the novel task of hosting a convention through an increasingly virtual medium.
On Wednesday, DNC Chairman Tom Perez seemed to affirm that the party would host a more modest version of the event, while reiterating earlier remarks that he still intends to hold at least some portion of it in person.
