Workers prepare the stage ahead of the 2016 Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, July 24, 2016. REUTERS/Jim Young[/caption] After a tumultuous four days in Cleveland for the Republican Party, members of the Democratic Party head to primetime this week for their convention in Philadelphia. Democratic elected officials, leaders and supporters are expected to nominate Hillary Clinton and Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine as their choice for president and vice president, respectively. The week will likely be a well-choreographed event playing up Clinton’s experience and judgment. Clinton, a lawyer turned first lady turned senator turned presidential candidate turned secretary of state, chose Kaine, a lawyer turned city council member turned mayor turned governor turned senator—a move that emphasized what the Clinton camp sees as one of their candidate’s greatest assets: experience. The week’s speakers are similarly expected to tout their nominees’ attributes, make a case for the Democratic Party in 2016 and beyond and draw contrasts with the Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. First lady Michelle Obama and Sen. Bernie Sanders will address the crowd Monday night, followed by former President Bill Clinton on Tuesday and President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden on Wednesday. Hillary Clinton will be introduced Thursday by her daughter Chelsea Clinton, when she formally accepts her party’s nomination. Each day will also feature other elected officials, celebrities and musical acts like Snoop Dogg, Lady Gaga, The Roots, Fergie and Nelly.
