This week we recap the main themes presented during the 2020 DNC virtual convention and its formal choice of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominees.
This week, following the arrest of former White House strategist Steve Bannon, we look at the response from Republicans and the President as the RNC kicks off its convention week. We also look at the California wildfire situation, an update regarding the water crisis in Flint, Michigan, and other newsworthy topics before shifting our attention over toward analysis of last week’s DNC convention 2020.
A number of things stood out to us, which included the apparent explanation they offered for nominee Biden’s recurring gaffes, as well as why a strong appeal was made not only to black voters but also to anti-Trump Republicans. We assess the situation, and what the big takeaways were from this first-ever virtual convention, or as we affectionately call it, “Un-vention 2020.”
