CHICAGO — After a monthlong family fight over President Joe Biden and his electoral prospects against former President Donald Trump, Vice President Kamala Harris‘s acceptance of the 2024 Democratic presidential nomination capped a weeklong demonstration of party unity.
But outside of the Democratic National Convention perimeters set up around the United Center and McCormick Place Convention Center in Chicago, protests over the Israel–Hamas war in Gaza disrupted that message.
Harris’s loudest applause line during her 40-minute address on Thursday night was when she said she and Biden were working to end the war so that Israel is secure, the hostages taken last year by Hamas are released, and the Palestinian people can realize their “right to dignity, security, freedom, and self-determination.”
