The Democratic National Convention when / ,when

The release comes on the heels of the Democratic National Convention when several Democratic politicians focused on character and morality.

I have no idea about politics but I was wondering whether the sentence is correct or not.

I think that there should be a comma like the Democratic National Convention, when several...as an additional information.

Or the when clause can modify the DNC?

What do you native English speakers think? Thank you so much as usual.

I find "when" so puzzling that I can't think about the comma. You have to forgive journalists sometimes because they are always fighting a deadline, and mistakes will slip through. Also, this is a Korean reporter, and likely a Korean editor if there is one, so there's that.

  • nseq=263762 , and the English is otherwise fine.
