Democrats running for Senate nowhere to be seen during convention

Taking control of the Senate is going to determine whether Joe Biden would be able to deliver on the sweeping agenda he’s promising as president. But most of the Democratic challengers hoping to knock off Republican incumbents were left out of the eight-hour convention broadcast.

Senate candidates M.J. Hegar (Texas), Theresa Greenfield (Iowa), and Cal Cunningham (North Carolina) were all left out of the convention spotlight. Media darling Amy McGrath, running against Mitch McConnell in Kentucky, and former media darling Jon Ossoff, running against David Perdue in Georgia, were also left out.
