The New York Times reporter Katie Rogers observed that “large sections” of delegates walked out during Joe Biden’s angry speech to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago late Monday night.
The walkout occurred as Biden gave his farewell address after being pushed out by Nancy Pelosi and replaced by Kamala Harris as the Democrats’ presidential nominee.
Not everyone felt the joy, apparently:
The disorganized first night of the convention saw Biden take the stage outside of primetime East Coast viewing at 11:28 p.m. EDT (10:28 local time). Biden’s speech lasted under an hour, ending about twenty minutes after midnight Eastern Time, well after bedtime for swing state voters in Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgia–and pushing it in Central Time Wisconsin.
