What Went Down On The First Night Of The Democratic National Convention

Clyburn is making that familiar argument — familiar even before the pandemic — that because Biden is so familiar with personal tragedy, it makes him a better leader.

Looks like they’re indicating live status (at least on this YouTube feed from the DNC) through a tag in the top right corner.

Agreed, Nathaniel! It’s hard to overstate Clyburn’s role in this year’s presidential nomination cycle. His endorsement of Biden right before the South Carolina primary was possibly the most influential of the whole process, and was quickly followed by at least 30 other high-profile endorsements. He also allegedly lobbied for Biden to name Harris as his running mate.
