Biden was just the warmup act. First night of DNC was his sad farewell.

Democrats are wasting no time putting President Joe Biden out to pasture.

The Democratic National Convention, which kicked off Monday in Chicago, highlighted the Democrats’ outgoing party leader on the first night of the nominating confab. And they couldn't even let Biden speak during prime time, when most viewers are watching. He didn't take the stage until nearly an hour later than scheduled.

This is very different than Biden thought things would go a month ago.

Before the president announced on July 21 that he would step aside from the presidential race to crown Vice President Kamala Harris as his heir apparent, the convention was going to be all about him.

How quickly things can change.

By scheduling Biden on the first night of the convention, Democrats can conveniently put the past behind them and continue their newfound love affair with Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
