The Atlantic has more on the convention lineup:
An Early Democratic Convention Lineup
The 2016 Democratic National Convention schedule is just beginning to take shape.
In a press release Friday, the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Convention Committee announced which bold-faced names would speak when during the four-night event. The festivities begin July 25 in Philadelphia, and as is traditional, the candidate herself isn’t speaking until the last night.
But other political heavyweights will help sustain delegates’ attention until then. The first night’s theme is a bit on-the-nose: They’re calling it “United Together,” and it’ll feature appearances from First Lady Michelle Obama, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, and immigration activist Astrid Silva, whose story President Obama once highlighted in an address on immigration.
….
Former President Bill Clinton will kick off the second night, but it’s who’ll also be there that’s more notable: the Mothers of the Movement, most of whom have children who’ve died from gun violence, at the hands of police, or both. The women have served as powerful surrogates for Clinton in recent months, telling their stories in primary states and campaign stops all across the country.
...
Wednesday will bring the Obama administration to the party, with appearances from the president and Vice President Joe Biden, both of whom have forcefully advocated for Hillary Clinton in recent weeks. (Obama especially.) And Chelsea Clinton will speak Thursday night, in addition to a speech from the now-presumptive nominee.
Also notable? Who’s not on the list: any of the vice-presidential candidates that Hillary Clinton is reportedly considering, among them Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren. She is not named, though the Times reported earlier this week she’d be speaking.
Obviously Elizabeth Warren will have a prime time speaking slot, but she is not included in the lineup so far because she is obviously high up in the VP consideration.
This will be an awesome convention. Michelle, Bernie, the President and Vice President, Bill Clinton, the Mothers, Chelsea, Elizabeth, then Hillary at the very end. Wow. What a lineup.
Trump is probably green with envy:
