Democratic National Convention

Donkey party assembly

The Democratic National Convention is a gathering held every four years where the Democratic Party formally nominates its candidates for president and vice president.

Delegates from each state vote to confirm the nominee, and the convention serves as a platform for major speeches and party unity: Her address at the Democratic National Convention launched her national profile.

Often shortened to DNC, though that abbreviation more commonly refers to the Democratic National Committee.
