Joe Biden plans to be in Milwaukee for the 2020 Democratic National Convention where he'll accept the party's presidential nomination, his campaign said Friday.
The announcement was made hours before Biden was due to address Wisconsin Democrats at their virtual convention.
With the coronavirus pandemic upending the campaign schedule, there has been uncertainty about the scale and scope of the convention, which will be held the week of Aug. 17.
“Democrats are going to have a convention this August where Joe Biden will accept the party’s nomination and we will begin the final stretch to ending the Trump Administration," Biden campaign spokesman Bill Russo said in a statement.
"Decisions about the scope and the format will be made based on the best public health and safety considerations that the DNCC (Democratic National Convention Committee) and the Biden campaign get from experts," Russo said.
"As is the case with many other businesses and families around the country dealing with our new normal, we are considering a variety of formats for this to take place, but we are certain that in the end it will capture the enthusiasm and spirit that we have to making Donald Trump a one-term president and transforming our country.”
Previously, Biden had kept his options open on the convention as the country dealt with the fallout from the pandemic.
Earlier this month, Biden stepped up convention organizing, with his campaign naming two top aides to assist with the effort.
The week after the Democrats meet in Milwaukee, President Donald Trump will attend the Republican Party Convention in Jacksonville Florida, where he'll accept renomination.
