Joe Biden will accept Democratic presidential nomination in Milwaukee

CNN)Joe Biden will formally accept the Democratic presidential nomination in Milwaukee in August, two officials familiar with planning say, as the scaled-back party convention with a major digital component enters the final stages of planning two months before it is scheduled to begin.

"He will be in Milwaukee," one official says of Biden, confirming the former vice president's attendance on the final night of the convention, likely August 20.

It has been made clear to major donors and supporters of the campaign in recent days as well that Biden's formal acceptance of the party's nomination -- the highlight of the multi-day affair -- will take place in Milwaukee.

In the city, a countdown sign has been ticking down the days on a downtown billboard, even as the event is still awash in uncertainty in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
