32 分钟I’m reporting from the Democratic National Convention this week, so we’re going to try something a little different on the show — a daily audio report of what I’m seeing and hearing here in Chicago. For our first installment, I’m joined by my producer, Rollin Hu, to discuss what the convention’s opening night revealed about the Democratic Party after a tumultuous couple of months. We talk about how Joe Biden transformed the party over the past four years, the behind-the-scenes efforts to shape the party under Kamala Harris, the impact of the Gaza protests and why many Democrats — despite Harris’s recent momentum — feel cautious about their odds in November. Mentioned: “Trump Turned the Democratic Party Into a Pitiless Machine” by Ezra Klein Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Full Speech at Democratic National Convention Thoughts? Guest suggestions?

So it is Tuesday morning, August 20.
I am recording this from beautiful, sunny Chicago.
I'm here covering the 2024 Democratic National Convention, and we're going to do something a bit different on the show this week.
I'm going to be doing a daily audio diary, a daily audio report on what I'm hearing and seeing here in Chicago.
I'm joined today by my producer, Roland, who, who is going to help me out on the other side of the microphone here today.
Roland, welcome to the show.
Happy to be here, Ezra.
So let's get started.
You're at the convention now.
The party's already selected a nominee in Kamala Harris.
So what's there left to do?
Yeah, what are conventions for is a wonderful question in the modern era.
So conventions used to be where you pick the nominee.
That is still true technically, most years, but it is not technically true.
This year.
