No ‘calamari comeback’ from Rhode Island in 2024 DNC roll call

There was not a second “calamari comeback” during the ceremonial roll call vote at the Democratic National Convention Tuesday.

The fried delicacy included in Rhode Island’s nominating presentation stole the show from the 2020 virtual roll call vote that nominated then candidate Joe Biden.

A reappearance from chef John Bordieri was highly unlikely since the Associated Press reported in June that the so-called “calamari ninja” was a supporter of then President and 2024 Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz won the ceremonial roll call that mirrored the party’s virtual vote held on August 6.

The roll call included an appearance by Atlanta rapper Lil’ John.

The Democratic National Committee convention is in Chicago through Thursday where Harris is scheduled to formally accept the party’s nomination for the 2024 Election.
