The Democratic National Convention kicks off today in Chicago, the start of four days of political speeches ending with the selection of the party’s candidate for president. Vice President Kamala Harris is slated to speak Thursday night, formally accepting the party’s nomination. President Joe Biden is set to speak tonight. See the full schedule here.
Outside the proceedings, thousands of protesters are expected to call for a cease-fire in Gaza, an issue dividing the Democratic Party. Chicago officials said they had added additional security in anticipation.
National poll averages show Harris with a roughly one-to-two-point edge; her lead over former President Donald Trump falls within the polling margin of error in most swing states.
