EXCERPT:
DOKOUPIL: "Norah, I am on the convention floor, but that floor is now covered up to my waist in balloons. I think the confetti is in the air, the big balloons are flying, and the 2024 Democratic National Convention is definitely in the books. People are loving it down here. Chuck Schumer, was he dancing, was he prancing. I just saw him go by. We’ve got cheers. We've got a certain underwater quality as people dodge the balloons, a certain concert quality as people wave and enjoy the music. And I will leave the reviewing of the content to you. But the emotion and the feeling down here is — I don’t know, a seven-year-old's birthday party is how I would put it. There is joy and there's not a lot of thinking. It's a good time."
