Despite the threat of looming mass protests in Chicago for the Democratic National Convention, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has insisted that the city is ready for the convention and any demonstrations that try to interfere with it.

Anti-Israel protesters are expected to demonstrate in Chicago throughout the week, as Vice President Kamala Harris accepts the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination at the convention hall. When pressed if there would be chaos in Chicago on ABC News’s This Week on Sunday, Johnson cited the history the city has in hosting major party conventions.
