Democratic National Convention: Grand event to nominate Harris for 2024 race, Biden to get farewell | FAQs

Chicago: The Democratic National Convention, beginning on Monday, will celebrate the nomination of Kamala Harris as the party’s presidential candidate. The four-day event is expected to draw thousands of people to the city in a show of enthusiasm for Harris’ surprise ascent to the nomination after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race. While it will be like a party inside the convention hall, the streets outside are expected to be heavy with protesters frustrated with the Democratic administration’s support of the way Israel is carrying out its Gaza offensive.
