PBS’s Barron-Lopez Eats Up ‘Kamala Cake’ and ‘Palpable Excitement’ of DNC

While covering Night One of the Democratic convention from Chicago, PBS News Hour reporter Laura Barron-Lopez was as energized as a Democratic delegate (or PBS’s introductory voiceover to its coverage), gushing over a “Kamala Cake” featured by a local bakery and relaying the “palpable enthusiasm” from the convention floor.

Barron-Lopez, who usually covers the White House, was quite enthused with the “new sense of hope around Vice President Harris's nomination,” both in and outside the arena, like at the Brown Sugar Bakery owned by Stephanie Hart.
