Debbie Wasserman Schultz is in the building.

The outgoing Democratic Party chairwoman is watching Monday’s opening night of the national convention from a private suite at the Wells Fargo Arena in Philadelphia.

The Florida congresswoman’s resignation from the party post will take effect Friday.

She stepped down after the release of hacked emails suggested staff at the Democratic National Committee favored Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders in party’s presidential primaries.

Wasserman Schultz was heckled Monday morning when speaking to her home state’s delegation at breakfast. She later decided against gaveling in the convention amid concerns she’d draw more ire from Sanders supporters.
