The first night of the 2024 Democratic National Convention was the scene of a party in transition, looking toward the future while simultaneously providing a final send-off for President Joe Biden as he officially passed the torch to Vice-President Kamala Harris. Attendees in Chicago greeted still-rising stars such as New York representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Georgia senator Raphael Warnock with the same fervor as they gave party veterans such as Hillary Clinton, the last woman to be the party’s presidential nominee, who rousted Democrats to “keep going.” Scenes of the convention so far from Mark Peterson for New York Magazine.
