This year’s Democratic National Convention was stretched across four days, and the event’s digital format allowed for a wide range of speakers not previously possible. There was a wide range of voices, including most of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s former 2020 rivals, standard Democratic establishment figures, progressives, Republicans who back Biden, state legislators, and individual voters. But one of the most notable omissions from the lineup was 2020 Democratic candidate Rep. Tulsi Gabbard.

Traditionally, presidential candidates who earn delegates are invited to speak at the convention in some capacity. But even though Gabbard won two delegates in the American Samoa primary, she was not included in the event. The Democrats snubbed her even as they included less successful ex-candidates who won zero delegates, such as Beto O’Rourke and Andrew Yang.
