Well, this is interesting. You may recall that last week Senator Elizabeth Warren's name was leaked as keynote speaker for Monday night at the Democratic National Convention. Today, the campaign released a preliminary speaker list, and Warren's name is conspicuously missing from it.
Monday:
First Lady Michelle Obama, Senator Bernie Sanders and DREAMer Astrid Silva
Gavel time expected at 3:00 p.m.
It appears Senator Bernie Sanders has taken the keynote slot the leak suggested would be Warren's.
Tuesday:
President Bill Clinton
Gavel time expected at 4:00 p.m.
Also scheduled Tuesday are Mothers of the Movement members Gwen Carr, Mother of Eric Garner; Sybrina Fulton, Mother of Trayvon Martin; Maria Hamilton, Mother of Dontré Hamilton; Lucia McBath, Mother of Jordan Davis; Lezley McSpadden, Mother of Michael Brown; Cleopatra Pendleton-Cowley, Mother of Hadiya Pendleton; Geneva Reed-Veal, Mother of Sandra Bland.Wednesday:
President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden
Gavel time expected at 4:30 p.m.Thursday:
Hillary Clinton and Chelsea Clinton
Gavel time expected at 4:30 p.m.
Now, to be fair, Senators Tim Kaine and Sherrod Brown are not on the list either. But it still seems weird to me that Warren's name would have been specifically leaked as a keynote speaker last week, and isn't there this week.
Can we conclude that her name is still on the short list for VP?
