The Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago has seen a mix of peaceful and tense moments, with pro-Palestinian protests occurring outside the venue. Demonstrators, some of whom breached security perimeters, have called for an end to the Gaza conflict, resulting in multiple arrests. Despite these incidents, the convention has largely remained uninterrupted, with prominent figures like President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris addressing attendees. Chicago Police Superintendent Larry Snelling emphasized the city's commitment to maintaining order and preventing violence. Inside the convention, notable speeches and tributes marked the event, although the shadow of Gaza has highlighted fractures within the Democratic Party regarding U.S. foreign policy. Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and former President Barack Obama are set to speak, continuing the high-profile lineup.
