“yes, I was I’m proud Democrat and I supported Biden, but I also called the white House. The white House number and asked with great respect, Mr. President. You know, with the switchboard, we want you to. It’s time to retire. It’s time to pass the torch. Go enjoy. Appreciate public service. So I was for him, but I was really, very excited when Kamala took over.”

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Valerie Mood, Las Vegas resident:
“I have a 20 year old daughter and a 21 year old son, and when President Biden was in, they just didn’t feel energized by him. He’s as old as their grandparents, so they were excited when the change happened. Just they just felt that it’s speaking more to them.”
5. Cutaway of crowd
6. SOUNDBITE (English) Valerie Mood, Las Vegas resident:
“yes, moms demand action. There is no reason to have assault weapons readily available in this country to whomever wants it. I just feel like we can have gun legislation, reasonable legislation. Let’s talk to people. I’m a teacher, public school teacher during my 29th year on Monday, and yesterday we held drills at school to teach the kids how to hide in case somebody enters the building with a weapon. Elementary kids shouldn’t be taught this. It shouldn’t be a fact of life around our country anymore.”

11. People using their phone flashlights
12. SOUNDBITE (English) Darlene Edwards, Las Vegas resident:
"I love Biden, he did a great job. But this when he stepped back and kind of gave Kamala the go. It was like letting the horses out of the dust, just letting him go. And she’s just brought so much energy, so much joy. Seeing, then what? Then she brings Tim (Walz) on and it just goes. It just got it exploded. And I think everybody is seeing that they’re feeling that they’re feeling, the excitement and stuff. And so, I am with it."
