Inside the Democratic National Convention

The Democratic National Convention showcased a mix of optimism and caution among party members, particularly regarding Kamala Harris as a historic candidate. Although there was a sense of euphoria, the political media coverage was largely one-dimensional and scripted, making it challenging to capture the true essence of behind-the-scenes dynamics. Many critical insights into the convention's internal politics, including key team decisions and member sentiments, remained obscured until after the election, highlighting the constraints of political reporting. This limitation is emphasized by the heavily managed appearances and safety nets both Biden and Harris utilized to control their portrayals during the event.
