While the focus of the Democratic National Convention at Monday night's session will be on celebrating President Joe Biden, a lot of people will have their turn at the microphone before the president takes the stage.

DNC officials released a partial list of speakers Monday afternoon, though no times were assigned, and the list is not yet complete, since the final version also is expected to include Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill.

The evening will end with the Bidens — first lady Jill, daughter Ashley and finally the president.

That will come long after Minyon Moore, chair of the 2024 Democratic National Convention Committee, calls the evening session to order.

Other speakers, after that:

Jaime R. Harrison, chairman of the Democratic National Committee

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson
