Summary

Desi Lydic recaps the biggest moments of night one, including Hillary Clinton's crowd breaking into a familiar chant, conservatives obsessing over Kamala Harris's smile, and Joe Biden giving an energetic speech that went way past everyone's bedtimes. Plus, Troy Iwata hunts for the perfect "Thank You" card for Biden. Then Ronny Chieng, Desi Lydic, Troy Iwata, and Josh Johnson talk to Dems on the ground in Chicago for their thoughts not on the party's policies, but on its vibes. And representative of Illinois’s 14th District and co-founder of the Black Maternal Health Caucus Lauren Underwood discusses speaking at the DNC on opening night, her experience working closely with Kamala Harris to address and advance maternal healthcare with the Momnibus Act, the key to combating the anti-woman policy agenda of conservatives like JD Vance, and the parallels between her work and her favorite reality show.
