Democrats have made no final decisions about what the DNC might look like in August. But they're openly discussing contingency plans — and have changed rules to allow delegates to participate even if they can't attend in person.
Solmonese said that even before the pandemic forced more contingency planning, his team of organizers had been thinking of ways to innovate so that the convention could keep pace with how the rules of politics are changing.
This year, he added, Democrats have an opportunity to"be much more intentional about the platforms that we deliver that message onto and the states and the people that are most important to get that information." Leah Daughtry served as the CEO of the Democratic National Convention in 2008 and again in 2016. She says the success of the event doesn't hinge on having a live audience in an arena."What it does mean is we must make a compelling visual narrative that people can see in, be engaged in, sucked into with the right entertainers, that will make me come to the television night after night," she said.
"Being able to do it from my home and having a real, active role of participation that is meeting people where they're at literally — I think is a strength," she said.
