Highlights from day one of the Democratic National Convention

President Joe Biden gave his party a heartfelt goodbye in the keynote speech of the first night of the Democratic National Convention to cap a night centered around honoring his legacy while passing the torch to Vice President Kamala Harris and the next generation of leaders.

Biden took the stage to a long round of applause lasting nearly five minutes and chants of “We love Joe” as many held up signs in the crowd with the phrase printed on it, which appeared to make him emotional as he wiped away tears before launching into his remarks.

Biden directly referenced the turmoil that surrounded the weeks following debate prior to his decision to drop out and acknowledged elevating Harris gave his party a better chance of defeating Trump.

Mad respect for keeping the comments available! Most would have disabled them by now 😂

[dextercochran]

All my favorite rich people were there. Glad to see they don't need two roommates and a second job to afford rent. I was really worried for them.

[chriswilson]

The highlight was when I changed the channel.

[scottbeutler]

Not to brag, but I have won just as many primaries as Kamala Harris.

[xploration]

Voting for Harris is like changing your shirt after you $hit your pants.

[brocious]

You should turn off comments. You're getting brutalized.

[kennethpereyda]

20 to 1 ratio of negative to positive comments- they picked a real winner in Kamala

[peetzaBoy]

Yall better fire the person who was in charge of curating these "highlights".

[jrm]

She’s still to inept to do an interview 😂

[avgjayevryday]

Are we watching a North Korean propaganda show?

[jeanettesmith]

It was one great speech after another! Warnock and Raskin were my favorites. i can't wait for tonight!

[michaeldziegiel]

The worst cast of bad actors.

Can't understand what type of people can't see through this bullshit.

[jeromebullard]

I was going to vote for Biden. Now I’m forced to vote for Trump because we need ANYONE but Harris in power.

[hook]

God so cringy. Wonder how much the crowd cost Bloomberg?

[ferhierro]

$525 billion to Ukraine and $750 billion to illegals and $700 to Maui people that’s Kamala Harris America!

[michaeladams]

This clown show got more media attention in one day than an attempted assassination on a former president did in a month. 😒

[UnknownHandle.]

I like my eggs, gas, and milk under 5 dollars thank u. Anyone who says they want to pay more is a FUCKING LIAR. Go Trump. 🇺🇸🇺🇸 we need you.

[jordanpisacreta]

the disparity between the comments here and on CNN/NBC is so noticeable. Theres no negative comments on those news channels because they removed them

[kennethpereyda]

the really weird thing is ABC thinks we watched this- we're just here for the comments

[RichardBirdsall]

'highlights' the best punchline ever
