President Joe Biden, former President Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are slated to address the Democratic National Convention next week, CBS News reported, citing a "source familiar with the planning."

Biden is expected to speak Monday, followed by Obama on Tuesday, and Bill Clinton on Wednesday. Hillary Clinton will reportedly speak Monday. NBC News first reported their participation while CBS included the dates of their expected speeches.

The DNC will run from Aug. 19-22. While the party has already confirmed Harris as its nominee through a virtual roll call, the party will formally grant her and her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn., the nominations.

Former President Jimmy Carter is not expected to address the convention and is currently in hospice care.

The inclusion of nearly every former Democratic president may signal unity within the party around Harris as the nominee and is particularly noteworthy in light of Obama's delayed endorsement of the vice president.
