What Went Down On The Final Night Of The DNC

You’re right, Emily. I understand the autobiography versus policy decision Democrats made here. I just wonder… and how to put this delicately… but how the transition between the older historical footage will work with Biden taking the stage now. He’s not the world’s most gifted public speaker, so I’m curious how tonight’s speech will go.

Biden was 29 when he was elected to the Senate, and he turned 30 — the minimum age to serve in the Senate — between the election and the new Congress. This year, if he wins at 77, he’ll turn 78 before Inauguration Day.

The live blog has noticeably slowed during this Biden introduction video. It’s very well done.
