When are the 2020 presidential debates?

With many of the usual staples of presidential campaign politics scrapped because of the pandemic, the debates between President Trump and Joe Biden likely will take on outsized importance.

LOS ANGELES - The Democratic National Convention (DNC) heads into its final day on Thursday, Aug. 20. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the convention is an all-virtual event, meaning that anyone from home can watch.

Thursday’s list of daytime DNC events includes meetings with prominent constituency councils and caucuses. Later in the evening, there will be remarks from notable politicians and lawmakers, including Sen. Cory Booker, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Gov. Gavin Newsom, Sen. Tammy Duckworth, Andrew Yang and former Vice President Joe Biden.
