That’s good. Has the potential to be iconic.

@RodneyPetersonTalent I so agree. This is a keeper

@GottaLaff THIS is why you hire photographers.

How many reporters would have seen THAT opportunity, THAT story?

What an astounding image.

@GottaLaff

As an Australian who's not following USA politics closely, what's all the blue stuff under the TV screen?
(I've looked at the Alt-Text for a few versions of this pic, and I just don't understand what the blue stuff is)

@arose62 @GottaLaff it’s the front of the stage
@Toni @arose62 Thanks. I thought it might be, but the perspective is so limited.
@arose62 We need context. Not sure. It could be the stage, it could be some bunting or barrier of some kind, don’t know.

@GottaLaff

I found this pic, which shows that the blue is the stairs leading up to the stage.
I can now sleep at night 🤪

@GottaLaff The description: "...young girl..."; that young girl is her great-niece.
@SonofaGeorge I didn't know that, thanks.
@GottaLaff I’m gonna weep tears of fucking joy for my daughter when they swear Kamala Harris in, because she’s going to grow up in a world where the glass ceiling has been smashed with a fist; and she can dream and achieve if she puts in the work and doesn’t let other people define her.
@AlexanderMars That made me tear up
@GottaLaff just being a #girldad over here. She just turned five, and really wanted to stay up to see Kamala because I’m constantly talking about the election with other adults and she’s often curious about what I’m doing. I let her but she conked out just after her bedtime anyway, also at 5 she doesn’t really have the attention span for an hour speech. I hope next year she gets to learn all about the first woman president, who just like her is of mixed heritage.

@GottaLaff

That's a great shot, but my first thought was "What is Abby from NCIS doing at the DNC?" 🤣
