Most of Monday Night Was Spent Defining Trump. Very Little Was About the Future.
Joe Cunningham
Typically, the first night of any party convention is the least-watched night. The biggest day of the convention is the last day, Thursday, when we hear from the candidates themselves - in this week's case, Kamala Harris. Monday is the opening act of the opening act.
Interestingly, that's the night they decided to put in the Biden family. According to reporting from various corners of the internet, Biden loyalists were upset at the disrespect. Through a combination of disorganized coordination, people running over their time, and the slate of speakers the party had scheduled, the sitting president of the United States was bumped out of prime time to speak to most Americans while they were already asleep.
But the various speeches last night were a mixed bag of topics that only had one thing in common - very little of it had to do with why people should vote for Kamala Harris. Instead, the bulk of the night was spent defining Donald Trump as an insurrectionist, criminal, felon, predator, out-of-touch rich guy, etc.
In other words, last night was all stuff we had heard before.
