Everyone who watched the first night of the 2024 Democratic National Convention noticed that it ran overtime, and Meghan McCain<\/strong><\/a> didn\u2019t hold back from pointing that out. At 11:00 p.m. on Monday, August 19, the 39-year-old television personality tweeted that she was \u201ctapping out\u201d from watching the DNC, noting that she \u201ccan\u2019t stay up this late\u201d and that \u201cwe all have lives and kids.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGod speed to our 81-year-old president getting through the speech at this hour,\u201d Meghan added, referring to President Joe Biden<\/strong><\/a>. \u201cWhatever producers did this to him and let it go over this long at this hour is an a**hole, and it is disrespectful to Biden.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a previous tweet that evening, Meghan asked, \u201cAre they seriously going to put President Biden on at midnight?!?\u201d<\/p>\n

The first night of the event aired at 8:00 p.m. ET and continued past midnight. Joe delivered a lengthy speech praising Vice President Kamala Harris<\/strong><\/a>\u2018 campaign, and he reflected on his decades-long political career. He was greeted with an overwhelming standing ovation by the crowd in Chicago.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m tapping out \u2013 I can\u2019t stay up this late, we all have lives and kids. God speed to our 81 year old President getting through the speech at this hour.<\/p>\n

Whatever producers did this to him and let it go over this long at this hour is an asshole and it is disrespectful to Biden.<\/p>\n

Toward the end of his speech, Joe pointed out that he has five months left in his presidency and he\u2019s \u201cgot a lot to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI intend to get it done,\u201d he said, before adding, \u201cIt\u2019s been the honor of my lifetime to serve as your president. I love the job, but I love my country more. All those people who said I should step down, that\u2019s not true. We love our country more, and we need to preserve our democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n

The president then concluded by admitting, \u201cI\u2019ve made a lot of mistakes in my career. But I gave my best to you. For 50 years, like many of you, I\u2019ve given my heart and soul to our nation. And I\u2019ve been blessed a million times in return for the support of the American people. I really have been too young to be in the Senate because I wasn\u2019t 30 yet, and now I\u2019m too old to stay as president.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I hope you know how grateful I am to all of you,\u201d he added. \u201cI can honestly say, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart, giving my word as a Biden: I can honestly say I\u2019m more optimistic about the future than I was when I was elected as a 29-year-old United States Senator.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
