Mostly. But with bits here and there that claimed to be live. Another pede pointed out that Biden's speech didn't even have "LIVE" in the corner the way the other ones did. Meaning they didn't even claim, officially, that it was live.
But they did have people parked outside a parking lot watching it. And then Joe and Kamala come out after the speech aired to greet those people.
So....
Super fucking weird all around.
This from the Atlantic seems to admit that it wasn't live. But the fact that it was after the speech aired, and he was wearing the same clothes as in the speech, again suggests that we were supposed to think that the speech was filmed and broadcast live, even if no one was physically there to watch it.
In front of Biden were rows and rows of cars with people cheering, honking their horns, and waving American flags, part of the drive-in audience for the rare part of this pandemic convention that was actually live. He couldn’t go out to greet those people, though—because he would risk infection, and because the Secret Service protection he now has would never be able to keep him safe in a lot full of cars.
