During the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, there was criticism regarding the scheduling that led to President Biden speaking well past his prime time slot on Tuesday night. Convention officials defended their decision, stating that they had to skip elements of the program to ensure Biden could address the American people.
Biden's speech concluded well after midnight due to the enthusiastic applause that interrupted other speakers. The officials explained that they made adjustments to the program to prioritize Biden's address and maintain the energetic atmosphere in the convention hall.
