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.


quote:

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.

Rogers posted to a live blog at the Times, “From where I am sitting in the hall, I can see large sections of empty chairs. I see the Delaware delegation is going strong, though.”

I wasn’t in the building, but that sounds as bogus as a three dollar bill.

They asked for that when they moved him out of primetime.

If it was a reporter for a right-leaning site saying this of the DNC, I could possibly agree. This was a reporter from the very left-leaning NYT reporting it, there's nothing positive gained for the campaign nor the party by reporting this.

This about half way through Biden yelling at the clouds.

No swing voters are watching a convention to hear someone speak who isn't running this time around.

it sounds right to me.

its late AF at night and everyone has already moved on from Biden. He isn't revered or respected like prior dem presidents. Everyone is over it and just want him gone.

They should have saved the live on stage abortion for last and people would have stuck around.

They didn't want Biden in primetime.

Ignore any stories about running late. This happened just as designed.

Guarantee you Obama will be speaking in primetime.

Were you still in the abortion bus? We KNOW you weren’t in the vasectomy bus.

It is coming from an NYT employee who was in the building. The Democrat party has moved on. Nobody cares what Biden has to say.

I’d wager you haven’t been out of your house in at least 5 years.
