The Democratic National Convention organizers have decided to adjust the start time of Tuesday's convention programming due to Monday's late-night session running significantly behind schedule. This change was prompted by President Joe Biden's remarks, which were originally scheduled for primetime but extended past midnight ET.

During a Tuesday morning briefing, convention executive director Alex Hornbrook acknowledged the need for real-time adjustments. He stated, 'We're working with our speakers and making some other adjustments for this evening, including beginning at 5:30 PM CT, to ensure that we stay on track tonight.'

The decision to start the evening's programming earlier aims to prevent any delays and keep the event running smoothly. By making these adjustments, the organizers are demonstrating their commitment to maintaining a timely schedule and ensuring that all speakers have the opportunity to address the audience effectively.
