Joe Loomes As Media Magazine - The fact Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., is only getting one minute of speaking time at the convention, whereas Kasich and Michael Bloomberg -- a former Republican but current Democratic megadonor who ran for the Democratic presidential nomination this cycle -- are getting larger platforms roiled some members of the Democrats' progressive wing last week.

"@AOC needs more than 60 seconds if we're fine wasting time & space bringing Bloomberg & Kasich," New York Times contributing op-ed writer Wajahat Ali tweeted. "This is more proof the DNC still doesn't understand the Democratic base, the youth, people of color, or the fact they are not a conservative party. It's OK to be progressive. Its OK."

Several former Republican leaders are slated to speak on the first night of this year’s Democratic National Convention, including former U.S. New York Rep. Susan Molinari, who once spoke at the Republican National Convention, and former Ohio Gov. John Kasich, a frequent Trump critic who ran for president in 2016.

Former New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman and former Hewlett Packard CEO Meg Whitman are also on the list of GOP speakers expected to give remarks virtually on Monday night.

The president landed in Minneapolis, Minn., on Monday early afternoon, kicking off a week of travel for him through key battleground states.
