2024 in Review: The warnings of the Democratic National Convention

As the year wraps up, we're looking back at ten of the episodes that defined 2024 at The Take. This originally aired on August 23. None of the dates, titles, or other references have been changed.

Hope and dissent met at the 2024 DNC, from the electric atmosphere inside the Democrats’ convention to the frustration of those fighting to convince the party to change course on unwavering support for Israel. With Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris’s supporters, protesters and uncommitted delegates, we’re bringing you voices from the party often referred to as the Big Tent.
