Theatrical Splendor of the Democratic National Convention

As the Democratic National Convention kicks off, host Brian Stelter catches up with senior editor Maggie Coughlan, in New York, and special correspondent Joe Hagan, from the United Center in Chicago. Hagan finds attendees fired up on night one, which featured speeches from party stalwarts (Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton) and future stars (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Jasmine Crockett), as Coughlan highlights how internet culture is coming to life in the convention hall. While the early weeks of Kamala Harris’s campaign, as well as the start of the party’s convention, have been a rousing success, the big question is whether the good vibes will continue. Look out for special editions of Inside the Hive each morning as the DNC rolls on.
