An answer to 'chaos': Democrats plan counterprogramming during RNC
The Democratic National Committee will be hosting events during next week's Republican Nation Convention.
Participating Democrats will argue that President Trump's "chaos" has exacerbated the problems facing the country, according to multiple outlets. They will offer a video press briefing during each day, Monday through Thursday, of the convention. Each day will have a different Democratic leader hosting the event.
"We see an opportunity to take advantage of their chaos and disorganization to again talk about what the presidency has yielded for folks," Lily Adams, a senior spokesperson for the DNC War Room, told CNN.
Two former presidential candidates and two Democratic politicians who were considered for the vice presidency on Joe Biden's ticket will be participating in the overlapping events.
On Monday, Rep. Val Demings of Florida, who was considered for the vice presidential slot, will discuss problems facing families such as child care and Social Security. The next day, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker will focus on the economy. Then, on Wednesday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will take over the Democrats' counterprogramming to discuss healthcare. Former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg will be leading the programming on Thursday, which is the final day of the Republican convention.
The DNC War Room, the party's research department, is also expected to release additional advertisements throughout the week.
The Democratic National Convention took place this week, culminating with Biden delivering an acceptance speech Thursday evening, not long after Trump appeared on Fox News for an interview. The president also tweeted during some of the Democratic convention's speeches.
