On Monday the Democratic National Convention got underway.

Hello Chicago.

Welcome to the first night of the Democratic National Convention.

Thousands of delegates flowed into United Center to anoint Vice President Kamala Harris as the party's

presidential nominee. Meanwhile, outside the Convention Center, I watched as a

broad coalition of protesters gathered to demand that Democrats change their policy on Gaza.

The protesters want a permanent ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Israel bombs the USA Pay.

We're all for the USA Pay.

How many kids do you kill today?

Protesters say they won't back Harris in November

unless they see policy changes.

They're potentially many more like them around the country.

And the Harris campaign can't afford to lose their votes.

There's a lot at stake when you think about the fact that these can't afford to lose their votes.

There's a lot at stake when you think about the fact

that these elections ultimately come down

to tens of thousands of votes across a handful

of key battleground states.

And there are a lot of people who say that they are single issue

voters based on the war itself and if you can't turn out voters even if it's a small

percentage in some of these key battlegrounds that could cost you the election.
