Day 1 was a barn burner. I personally think Day 2 was fine, but not to the same level. We’ll see where day 3 takes us!

Walz was the highlight I thought. He really is a great speaker. There wasn’t one wasted word in the speech, and the way his kids were so damn happy for him really highlighted the key difference between the two sides.
Jeffries was also pretty great.
Hard to imagine not tearing up watching Gus Walz. When he stood up crying and said, “That’s my dad!” it hit me right in my dad brain.
Yes, I’m not even a dad, but it hit me too.
