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

Despite what has so far been a slick convention with a couple of big moments, this chart of the volume on Twitter shows the fundamental challenge for Biden and Democrats. Conversation about the president, by himself, outstrips conversation about all the Democrats (and Democrat-endorsing Republicans) on the stage tonight. Never underestimate Trump’s ability to control the agenda.

You were playing the long game, Nate, for when Biden, Harris, Pelosi, the Senate president pro tem, the secretary of state, secretary of the treasury and secretary of defense all resign.

Jones might be auditioning for the attorney general role in a potential Biden Cabinet, since he’s such an underdog for reelection. Still, Jones says he’s got a shot at winning another term. That probably only happens if Biden gets a big win nationally.
