The Democrats Throw Joe Biden a Goodbye Party
Manage episode 435179714 series 1271019
Last night, thousands of people gathered in Chicago for the first night of the Democratic National Convention. And the crowd at the United Center was ready for a party.
The evening featured a cameo from their candidate, Vice President Kamala Harris, and speeches from Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and, closing out the night, President Biden.
Before he could begin his speech, he received a sustained round of applause — more than four minutes long.
It was just one memorable moment over the course of an evening that was both a goodbye party and kickoff event.
The Run-Up is coming to you from the D.N.C. all week.
Today: Night One in Chicago, where the Democrats attempted to reclaim a certain expression of patriotism, and gave thanks to Mr. Biden.
On today’s episode:
Reid Epstein, a politics correspondent for The New York Times.
