The best, worst and weirdest moments of the final night of the DemConvention:
Joe Biden wasn’t going to get the minute-long roar of a packed arena when declared he would accept the Democratic presidential nomination on Thursday.
Those awkward seconds before the speaker begins talking, or the speakers who started before the announcer finished introducing them? Solved by the stage lights, which came up to signal Biden to walk forward and begin speaking. “This president, if he’s reelected, you know what will happen,” Biden said. “Cases and deaths will remain far too high. More mom-and-pop businesses will close their doors — this time for good. Working families will struggle to get by, and yet, the wealthiest 1 percent will get tens of billions of dollars in new tax breaks.”Biden has not been known for brevity during his nearly five decades in politics.
“You could think of this sort of like ‘Survivor,’ on the out interviews of all the people that got voted off the island,” Booker said in the first seconds of the video, as the other six Democrats awkwardly chuckled along in their boxes. Democrats want more, though. The party, which gave Bloomberg a coveted speaking spot on Thursday, is hoping he will spend to help down the ballot in the fight for key state legislative chambers, or perhaps to capture the Senate — even though Bloomberg helped protect some GOP senators in 2016, like Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania.Early in the broadcast, the program shifted from a segment on Biden’s Roman Catholic faith and a tribute to the late Rep.
Ashley Biden, meanwhile, created headaches for her father early during his service as vice president, when tabloid stories swirled about her drug use as a young woman.
