What Twitter Is Saying About Night 3 of the Democratic National Convention
The instant spin room.
Hillary Clinton has officially secured the nomination of the Democratic Party for president. On Thursday, she will accept it. Wednesday night, the third night of the Democratic National Convention, is about convincing us that she deserves it. We’ll be hearing from Barack Obama, who is expected to make the case for his own legacy and Hillary as the best person to protect it, as well as Joe Biden, Michael Bloomberg, and Clinton’s running mate Tim Kaine. There will be celebrities and generals! And a few normal folks, too.
Pundits and politicos will be taking it all in. Obama’s speech is a particular point of interest: It’s unusual, in recent election cycles, for a sitting president to actually be an asset to his party’s nominee. Below are live tweets, drawn from a list of top accounts curated by Slate. You’ll see left-leaning commentators on the left and right-leaning commentators on the right. Let the spin begin.
