Biden&#8217;s address began at 11:25 p.m. ET on Monday, nearly an hour and a half later than planned. Meghan McCain criticized this timing online, calling it disrespectful to Biden and suggesting that whoever scheduled it was inconsiderate. Tyler defended the situation on Fox News\u2019s America\u2019s Newsroom, emphasizing the unity and enthusiasm of the Democratic Party in support of both Biden and Kamala Harris for the upcoming election. He also dismissed worries about Harris potentially taking over as presidential candidate in 2024, asserting she was chosen because she would be ready from day one. CNN anchor Jake Tapper remarked that starting so late might give viewers a negative impression of Biden&#8217;s standing at the convention compared to Republicans&#8217; more organized scheduling. Democratic strategist Hank Sheinkopf expressed surprise at how late Biden spoke but acknowledged it was a fitting farewell for him. A DNC official mentioned that some parts of Monday\u2019s program were cut short to allow for an earlier start for Biden&#8217;s speech; among those cuts was a performance by James Taylor, who had been rehearsing earlier in the evening. The DNC will continue its events through Thursday night with notable speakers lined up for Tuesday including former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2632,"featured_media":2327641,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Biden-at-DNC-scaled-1024x683.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[538],"tags":[3620,38702,38701,35844],"class_list":["post-2327640","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-washington-examiner","tag-biden","tag-campaign-response","tag-dnc-address","tag-harris-campaign"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Biden-at-DNC-scaled-1024x683.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2327640","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2632"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2327640"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2327640\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2327641"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2327640"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2327640"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2327640"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
