Following the four-day gathering of the GOP in Cleveland, that party's chief political rivals have their nominating showcase for November's presidential election in Philadelphia from Monday to Thursday, July 25 through 28. PBS again is planning three hours of primetime coverage each evening besides its regular "NewsHour" progra. ABC, CBS and NBC will continue nightly one-hour reports at the end of primetime, with cable news networks including CNN, Fox News Channel and MSNBC offer- ing frequent telecasts from the convention. Also, as it did during the Republicans' event, CBS' "The Late Show With Ste- phen Colbert" will broad- cast live (in the Eastern half of the country) from its New York studio on all convention nights. On Wednesday and Thursday, HBO's "Real Time With Bill Maher" will do the same again from Los Angeles, and Comedy Central's "The Daily Show With Trevor Noah" will originate from Philadelphia each night of the Democrats' gathering. Judy Woodruff again will anchor PBS' coverage with her "NewsHour" colleague Gwen Ifill, and she notes that the current race for the White House "does stand out. This a very dif- ferent year. The American people said something in the Republican primaries when they picked (Don- ald Trump), and I think we have to listen to that. That's a reason the con- ventions are so important: A lot of people haven't paid attention. They're starting to, and that's why these conventions are so critical." As for questions that still surround presump- tive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, Woodruff reflects, "What is her mes- sage going to be? What role is Bill Clinton going to play at the convention? How front-and-center is he going to be? Who are the other people she's going to put forward as those who endorse her? Are these some of the people who could serve in a Clin- ton administration? I think there's a lot of suspense." John Dickerson contributes to CBS' coverage of the Democratic National Convention starting Monday. The Democrats continue the political-convention trail
