KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Former Vice President Joe Biden will accept the Democratic nomination for president during the final night of the national convention.

"Seinfeld" and "Veep" star Julia Louis-Dreyfus will serve as host for the fourth and final night of the virtual Democratic National Convention.

John Legend and Common will perform before eight former Democratic presidential hopefuls — including Sens. Cory Booker of New Jersey, Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts — are scheduled to speak.

Other former candidates Michael Bloomberg, Pete Buttigieg, Beto O’Rourke and Andrew Yang also will speak before Biden’s family steps into the spotlight.
