The Democratic National Convention will take place in Chicago from August 19 to 22, with Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the spotlight. In addition to speeches by prominent Democrats such as President Biden and debates on the party platform, protests are expected.
The Democrats have raised $94 million in donations, and performances by bands and music stars are also expected. Pro-Palestinian protesters are planning to march and pressure the party to stop the war in Gaza.
They will advocate for a ceasefire and an arms embargo and will be joined by uncommitted delegates who want to push the convention to include these demands in the party's platform. The protests and internal efforts to influence the platform highlight the fractures among Democratic voters, even at a time of increased unity.
The Chicago area, with its large Palestinian population, is expected to see significant turnout for the protests. Business owners in downtown Chicago are boarding up their establishments in anticipation of potential unrest during the convention.
Additionally, ABC News has announced that the presidential debate will be held at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, with Kamala Harris and a former President attending.
