As President Trump and former vice president Joe Biden gear up to accept their parties’ nominations, the best-sourced reporters covering politics today will host three virtual events each day of both national conventions, interviewing newsmakers, power players, political insiders and more.

COVID-19 concerns have changed the rules when it comes to campaigns and conventions. From Milwaukee to Charlotte and beyond, Washington Post Live will be the daily headquarters for the people and ideas driving the election.
