Democrats Don’t Think They Have This Election Won

Summary

Ezra Klein is reporting from the 2024 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, analyzing the modern purpose of political conventions beyond simply selecting a nominee. The convention serves as a platform for the Democratic Party to define itself through platform creation, speaking slot selections, and networking opportunities among party factions. Klein's primary focus is understanding the current state of the Democratic Party, its power dynamics, and its public perception, particularly in the context of persuading President Biden to step aside and unifying around Kamala Harris as the nominee.
