The somewhat dad-bod gentleman is singing “Hallelujah", so the opera may be over. :-)
The livestream I was watching cut off so I think (or they think) that was it.
I think the first night has wrapped up, so we’ll wrap up our live blog as well! We’ll be back tomorrow for the second and final night. Come back and join us at 7 pm ET!
C-SPAN says that the GOP “wraps it first day of midterm convention.” Maybe they did push Vance to tomorrow.

Vanity Fair heard this from Elon’s bitter ex-girlfriend, who says that Musk figured out what everyone realized at about the same time, and that’s … explosive. Sure Jan.
Ha! Trump promises to keep it short tomorrow night.
He wraps up with a reminder to pretend he's on the ballot and vote Republican.
Apple TV just told me that the football game is tied, so Trump simply HAS to wrap up.
Maybe I’ll just post my photos from the PBR rodeo this past weekend.
Please. I am flagging badly. And I have 6 posts to write tomorrow.
Trump has been standing and talking mostly off the cuff for NINETY minutes. Amazing.
Can Vance just talk tomorrow? :-)

Beautiful tribute to Charlie Kirk.
I’m going to need some coffee. And he’s been standing for more than an hour.
How is he so energetic when I am barely staying awake? They say Trump is slowing down?

There’s some irony in working blue to chase off the reds.
Trump is working blue tonight. Doing a whole riff about Tala-freako that maybe can't be repeated on a family website.

I laughed, though, I admit it.
OMG, the “beat meat” line … and yeah, even Trump says he’s getting himself in trouble.

MAGA Republicans made a mistake coming to Texas for their clown show.

“America does not belong to those who hate it, America belongs to those who love it.” Great line, and might have been a good close.
