Midwest mayhem: Protesters plan for big week of disruption at DNC

This week’s Democratic National Convention in Chicago will bring celebration and a major pitch by Democrats for the November election, but expected protests could throw a wrench into those plans.

Demonstrations were planned while President Joe Biden was the likely Democratic nominee, and after he dropped out of the race and Vice President Kamala Harris became the nominee, organizers said they would still proceed. The main protests are expected on Monday and Thursday, the first and final days of the DNC, respectively.
