The Democratic National Convention in Chicago is set to begin amidst protests against the Biden-Harris administration's approach to the Gaza war. Thousands of activists, including groups advocating for Gaza and abortion rights, plan to march and make their voices heard.
These protests aim to push for amendments to the party platform, including an arms embargo on Israel. While Kamala Harris prepares to accept the Democratic nomination, the city of Chicago assures that it is prepared to handle the demonstrations in a safe and peaceful manner.
The convention itself will feature celebrity hosts, key speakers such as Biden, Harris, and Obama, and a platform that addresses traditional priorities like infrastructure and taxes, as well as the Gaza war. However, the platform faces opposition from some primary voters who protested Biden's candidacy over Gaza.
Despite the protests and divisions, the convention is expected to showcase unity and support for Harris as the presidential nominee. As the convention unfolds, the world watches to see how these protests and political show will shape the future of the Democratic Party and its stance on important issues.
