In a bittersweet moment, the Democratic convention in Chicago witnessed a somber President paying tribute to Joe Biden while simultaneously signaling the end of an era. The recent events surrounding Biden's nomination were not dwelled upon, as party members gathered to commemorate his career. There was a palpable discomfort in the air, stemming from the abrupt shift in public sentiment regarding Biden's candidacy. What was once considered an unquestionable decision to nominate the 81-year-old former Vice President now appeared to be a questionable choice. Democrats who had previously championed Biden's bid for presidency were now reluctant to reiterate their support. As the convention commenced on August 19th, Biden's final campaign resonated with an aura of sadness, trepidation, and even embarrassment – prompting a collective sentiment that it was time to move forward and leave it all behind.
