'Where is Walz?!' Minnesota delegates won't leave convention floor
Raw StoryCHICAGO — When U.S. Sen. Cory Booker slammed his gavel and concluded the Democratic National Convention's Wednesday session around 10:45 p.m. CT, he told delegates that he doesn't care where they go, but they "can't stay here." More than a half hour after the session ended, and the United Center floor otherwise empty, several dozen Minnesotans — and other delegate hangers-on — continued to hoot, holler and demand the Democrats' newly minted vice presidential nominee make a curtain call. Members of the Minnesota delegation to the Democratic National Convention stayed long after the Thursday session had ended in Chicago's United Center — in a bid to party with their state's governor, Tim Walz, the newly minted vice presidential candidate. But they had plenty of time left to celebrate, albeit elsewhere, as standard closing time in Chicago isn't until 2 a.m. — although a few watering holes are allowed to stay open later.
