The running mate is slated to get a major speaking slot at the convention. ADIn 2016, Hillary Clinton’s team announced her pick, Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), two days before the Democratic National Convention. In 2008, Barack Obama announced two days before the Democratic convention that Biden, then a senator from Delaware, was his choice.

The running mate would ordinarily be introduced before a roaring crowd at the convention, followed by a barnstorming tour across the country.
