Democratic Convention in Chicago: Harris-Walz Ticket Faces 100,000 Pro-Hamas Protesters
Aug 19, 2024, 06:40 AM
The 2024 Democratic National Convention is set to commence in Chicago, marking a significant moment in U.S. politics as Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz are nominated as the Democratic Party's presidential and vice-presidential candidates, respectively. The convention, which runs from August 19 to 22, will see President Joe Biden symbolically passing the torch to Harris, following his decision to step down from the presidential race. The event is expected to draw tens of thousands of attendees, including delegates, media, and protesters. Protests, particularly from pro-Palestinian and Pro-Hamas groups, have already begun, with large demonstrations anticipated throughout the week. Security measures have been heightened in response to the expected 100,000 protesters, with a significant police presence in downtown Chicago. President Biden will speak on Monday night to make a forceful case for the Harris-Walz ticket.
