CHICAGO — To the immeasurable disappointment of thousands of people inside Chicago’s United Center Stadium—and hundreds of thousands more breathlessly watching from afar—Beyoncé did not appear onstage on the final night of the Democratic National Convention.The will-she-won’t-she-appear question had hung in the air all day, with excitement growing to a fever pitch as both tabloids like TMZ and Beltway news outlets like The Hill confirmed that she would be performing ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris’ acceptance speech.But all that came crashing down around 9 p.m. Chicago time, as The Hollywood Reporter put out a story contradicting those earlier reports...

Democrats Were Expecting Beyoncé but Went Wild for Harris Instead

Gen Z Americans are among the thousands who have descended on Chicago for the Democratic National Convention, energised by Kamala Harris's candidacy. The Harris campaign has invited lots of social media influencers in the hope these "creators" can help them spread their message to groups where turnout is traditionally low.

While Kamala Harris was making her keynote speech at the Democratic National Convention, Donald Trump was melting down on Truth Social. The former president and convicted felon promised to give a “Play by Play” of her speech, and it ended up being a long string of whining. “Too many ‘Thank yous,’ too rapidly said, what’s going on with her?” Trump began. It didn’t get any better from there. “She’s talking about how great San Francisco was before she destroyed it, probably not a good idea!” Trump posted, accompanied by a video disparaging Harris’s record as a prosecutor in the city....

Trump Goes off the Deep End During Kamala Harris’s DNC Speech

Conservatives are freaking out about Kamala Harris’s stepdaughter after she … did nothing but exist. As Harris’s husband and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff watched on at the first night of the Democratic National Convention, his children Cole and Ella Emhoff stood by his side. Ella, a 25-year-old fashion designer, rocked the Harris-Walz camo hat, campaign swag that was so popular it sold out in just 30 minutes. As the family shared a proud moment, Republicans zeroed in on Harris and Emhoff’s daughter and began critiquing her looks, her body language, and her love for her dad. “Totally not weird,” wrote...

An “undercover” Mike Lindell is running around the Democratic National Convention arguing with Democrats. Like other right-wingers, including Matt Walsh, the MyPillow CEO has found his way into the DNC sporting a disguise: shaving off his legendary mustache. He announced he did so “in order to go undercover at the DNC and deliver FrankSpeech viewers undercover footage,” referring to his conservative news website.

Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo has repeatedly been saying this week that Democrats have been pushing to register “massive lines of illegals” to vote in Texas. As it turns out, she never did any actual reporting on the topic. The Texas Department of Public Safety debunked Bartiromo’s claims, with Sergeant William Lockridge, a spokesperson for the department, calling the claims “simply false” and “kind of racist” in a statement Tuesday to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Brady Gray, the chairman of the Parker County GOP, also said such reports were “erroneous” after investigating Bartiromo’s claims.Bartiromo first brought up the alleged voter...

Being a liberal means complaining about the Democrats. It’s as axiomatic a law of life as the fatalism of Red Sox fans. More specifically, it means complaining about Democratic messaging: the weakness, the confusion, the inconsistency, the bajillions of opportunities missed when Republicans do something nuts, the backpedaling, the hem hawing, the failure to state principles forthrightly—is that enough? Believe me, I could go on.Well, I don’t know who exactly is running this convention, in terms of deciding who speaks when and what they say and approving all those little film intermezzos, but whoever you are: kudos. This year’s Democratic...

J.D.

The poll also found that Harris had passed Trump in North Carolina, leading him 49 percent to 47 percent, and that she had significantly narrowed the former president’s lead in Georgia and Nevada. “What is the administration doing—the campaign doing with that...

When President Biden was running for reelection, he repeatedly talked about the dangers Trump and his neofascist buddies in the billionaire class represent to “democracy.” Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz, on the other hand, are using the word “freedom.”All this week here at the DNC, people have been enthusiastically holding up signs proclaiming “freedom.” The word “democracy,” while not altogether avoided, has been largely absent both from the signage and the presentations of the various speakers.Vice President Harris’s unofficial theme song has been Beyoncé’s “Freedom”; the three-minute video that preceded her coming onstage Monday night, to that...

Kamala Harris and Tim Walz’s Secret Weapon Against the Republicans

Obama is hitting Trump’s campaign of grievances and gripes, saying the former president is not concerned about the problems of everyday Americans. “And as we gather here tonight, the people who will decide this election are asking a very simple question. Who will fight for me,” Obama said. “One thing is for certain: Donald Trump is not losing sleep over that question. Here’s a 78 year old billionaire who has not stopped whining about his problems since he rode down a golden escalator nine years ago.”

The speech that Barack Obama delivered to close the second night of the Democratic National Convention was, in many ways, a nostalgic performance of the former president’s greatest hits. With soaring rhetoric about the common bonds shared by Americans across races, creeds, and backgrounds, a spirited defense of liberalism, and a couple of well-placed zingers, it amounted to a rousing call to action: Casting a ballot for Kamala Harris in November wasn’t just a vote, it was a larger act in the work of protecting and improving American democracy. Obama hasn’t lost his knack for synthesis in his eight years...
