ATW Monday Livestream: Democratic National Convention, Day 1

Uninvited, but unbowed: Walter Kirn and I recap day 1 of the DNC, with duck-ins to coverage from both left and right

August 19, 2024

Walter Kirn and I will be appearing live at 8 pm ET/7 pm CT tonight to provide live commentary for a star-studded opening night to the Democratic National Convention, in the City of Big Shoulders. Not on site, we’ll be there in spirit, giving updates should the streets erupt in protest as predicted in an homage to 1968, but we’ll also follow action onstage. Tonight is a big night, even by convention-opener standards. The reported headline speakers are Hillary Clinton, Jill Biden and “volunteer-in-chief” Joe Biden, according to a “source familiar with the planning.” As usual, Walter and I will be reviewing events from earlier in the day while also providing Mystery look-ins on live coverage from multiple outlets.
