Protesters opposing U.S. support for Israel plan to demonstrate outside the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, despite Vice President Kamala Harris replacing Joe Biden as the nominee. Organizers expect tens of thousands of demonstrators, with chartered buses bringing people from multiple states. Although Harris has called for a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas conflict, her stance aligns closely with Biden's policies, which has not eased opposition.
