CHICAGO — I sat down Wednesday to indulge in my morning ritual of an espresso; this time at the Gallery Café just a couple of miles from the United Center in Chicago – the site of the 2024 Democratic National Convention. As I checked the latest news on my laptop a white gentleman with a short gray beard, dressed in red sweatpants and a dark blue t-shirt approached me and pointed at my press passes hanging around my neck. “You here covering the Democrats?”
I made a mental note to once again try to remember to remove the passes until needed. “Yes,” I said.
