CHICAGO — On the first day of the Democratic National Convention, the Abandon Biden campaign held a counterconvention in which it unveiled a new Abandon Harris group in protest of Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign. 

“Today, we launch Abandon Harris, Abandon Harris. In the protests on the streets of Chicago, reminiscent of 1968, we now declare that the only option for people of conscience is to abandon Harris, to punish her and the party so that they know that they can never put genocide on the ballot,” said Hassan Abdel Salam, founder of Abandon Biden, during the press conference.
