August 1 , 2020 - With the arrival of August , the National Political Party Conventions are set to take center stage. As Covid 19 caused the re - scheduling of the Democratic National Convention from July to August , we are now set to have conventions back to back.

The Democratic National Convention will be held in Milwaukee , Wisconsin beginning on Monday August 17 , 2020. The Republican National Convention will kick off in Charlotte , North Carolina on Friday August 21 , 2020.

Even though each convention is expected to be scaled back due to Covid 19 former Vice President Joe Biden is still scheduled to travel to Milwaukee to accept the nomination and President Donald Trump plans to go to Charlotte to accept the nod from the GOP.
