A deliberate efficiency by James Taylor on the primary day of the 2024 Democratic Nationwide Conference in Chicago was scrapped as organizers grappled with scheduling issues that pushed President Joe Biden‘s speech exterior primetime.
“Because of the raucous applause interrupting speaker after speaker, we ultimately skipped elements of our program to ensure we could get to President Biden as quickly as possible so that he could speak directly to the American people. We are proud of the electric atmosphere in our convention hall and proud that our convention is showcasing the broad and diverse coalition behind the Harris-Walz ticket throughout the week on and off the stage,” conference officers informed The Hollywood Reporter.
Taylor was set to take the stage in the course of the 9 p.m. CDT block, in keeping with an earlier DNC schedule of occasions, with the singer-songwriter that includes in a slot between First Woman of the US Dr. Jill Biden’s speech and Ashley Biden’s introduction of her father. President Biden didn’t take the stage till after 10:30 p.m CDT.
Earlier on Monday, a number of social media posts captured Taylor rehearsing inside Chicago’s United Heart.
Regardless of skipping Taylor’s efficiency, the primary day of the DNC did function units from Mickey Guyton and Jason Isbell.
