CHICAGO — The first day of the Democratic National Convention gaveled in as anti-Israel protesters broke through a security gate and the press grumbled about Vice President Kamala Harris’s DNC limiting press seating at the United Center as TikTokkers got a shiny platform. 

President Joe Biden was the headliner speaker on Monday as he passed the baton to Harris, with breakout speeches from 2016 Democratic Party nominee Hillary Clinton and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).
