Meanwhile, delegates across the country nominated former Vice President Joe Biden as the official Democratic presidential candidate for 2020. WBUR's Callum Borchers breaks it all down for us. We also hear from Joseph McNamara, chair of the Rhode Island State Democratic Committee, whose creative presentation during the second night of the Democratic National Convention had the whole country talking about seafood.
