abstract
  • The 2016 Democratic National Convention was a presidential nominating convention, held at the Enway Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, from July 25 through to July 28, 2016. The convention gathered delegates of the Democratic Party, the majority of them elected through a preceding series of primaries and caucuses, to nominate a candidate for president and vice president in the 2016 United States presidential election. President Frank Underwood was chosen as the party's nominee for President, and First Lady Claire Underwood was chosen as the party's Vice Presidential nominee. Notably, going into the Convention, Frank Underwood had not named a running mate, leading to the Convention to vote on Vice President. Despite Secretary of State Catherine Durant being considered a strong contender at first, the position ultimately went to Claire Underwood, making this the first Democratic ticket in U.S. history where the Presidential candidate and the Vice Presidential candidate were spouses.
