The private side entrance of the White House has lots of temporary construction for tonight's #RNC2020.
Showtime. #RNC2020
Kevin McCarthy's video brought massive applause to the White House lawn. #RNC2020
My vantage point – it’s quite different in-person than on TV. #RNC2020
So far, only 1 person has given me a hassle for asking Twitter’s advice on whether I should have come to the White House tonight. Everyone else has welcomed me.

They only ask only one thing of me: To tell the truth.

You have my word. #RNC2020
I never thought much of @DanaWhite in 2016, but his focus on the importance of sports right now is meaningful.

I never thought of him as a good communicator – but was wrong. He’s damn good. #RNC2020
Hands down, the best video of the entire 4-day convention.

People around me are crying. #RNC2020
When Rudy Giuliani began to talk about New York, someone in the crowd yelled “Come back!” #RNC2020
She is the president’s best surrogate.  She’s humble, calm, and willing to acknowledge her father’s communication shortcomings.

She communicates credibility. #RNC2020
The first standing ovation tonight was for a mention of the Middle East peace agreement, between Israel and the UAE.

I hope my students at @NYUAbuDhabi appreciate how much Americans want peace. #RNC2020
Trump loves descending stairs and escalators. #RNC2020
Trump’s speech sounds more like a State of the Union address than a typical stump speech. #RNC2020
“This is the most important election in the history of our country.”

Personally, I think the choice of Washington, Lincoln’s election in 1860, or FDR’s in 1932 were more important – but that’s just me. #RNC2020 🤷🏼‍♂️
This is a powerful line.
Very memorable. #RNC2020
“I say modestly that I have done more for the African-American community than any president since Abraham Lincoln.”

It’s lines like this that undercut what otherwise is a pretty remarkable speech. #RNC2020
The public does not prioritize opening up “work and school.“ They prioritize health and safety.

That’s why moms with kids in school are nervous about Trump. #RNC2020
The NBA, MLB, and NHL aren’t playing tonight.

1. Better for #RNC2020 TV ratings
2. Maybe sports fans are watching
Which is worse: A socialist or an anarchist? #RNC2020 🤔
The problem with sitting so close to the stage is that people sitting around you get mad when you don’t stand for the applause lines. #RNC2020
The net of this speech:
Those who like Trump will love this speech. Those who don’t will hate the speech.

He has drawn a sharp line of division that will put him back in the race. I don’t expect a big bounce, but he’s back in the race. #RNC2020

…And that’s a wrap. #RNC2020

Quite the celebration in Washington tonight.
