Democrats will rally around Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, our Democratic nominees for President and Vice President of the United States. The 2024 Democratic Convention in Chicago will show America what Democrats stand for and tell the story of our proven track record of delivering progress for all Americans. But the story is far from over.
At the convention, Democrats will come together to build on our progress, lay out what’s at stake in this election, and unite around our shared values of democracy and freedom to create a future for all Americans.

Dem lawmakers given security warning before 100,000 pro-Hamas demonstrators descend on Chicago for DNC

They’ve also been warned to avoid staying in certain areas of Chicago, and one Democratic lawmaker told the website they were “very concerned” about personal security.
Some area hotels have been getting calls from people making random requests for names.

While Democratic Party leadership is putting on a united public front, Joe Biden’s simmering resentment over the quiet coup that ended his re-election dreams may be bubbling to the surface.
It wasn’t long ago that Biden was looking forward to the primetime closing spot at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, making his case for leading the United States for another four years.
Now, he has been demoted to a curtain-raiser speech on the opening night, when he is likely to make a call for unity in a party that has effectively closed ranks to move forward without him.
According to Politico, Biden “won’t be sticking around for the rest of the week’s festivities.”
That means he’ll miss his old boss Barack Obama’s speech to the convention on Tuesday, fueling speculation that the president “harbors some resentment” that Obama didn’t stand up for him when the knives came out after the disastrous debate with Donald Trump in Atlanta.
Even more significantly, if Biden retires to the White House for the remainder of the convention, he will skip the symbolic handover of the 2024 presidential election torch to Kamala Harris.

What you say here www.abovetopsecret.com... is entirely possible, since Kamala helped to push Biden over the cliff. The same people who know Trump will expose their criminality(s) will not hesitate to replace Kamala, like they did Joe.
CHICAGO (CBS) -- The preparations for the Democratic National Convention are in high gear, and on Saturday security measures surprisingly spilled over into neighborhoods nowhere near the United Center or McCormick Place.
At the Dirksen Federal Building in the Loop, security gates popped up overnight to prevent anyone from vandalizing the courthouse, while people living along the Magnificent Mile and Gold Coast discovered unexpected more security gates and road closures miles away from the DNC sites.
"They put this up like 5:30 in the morning. So they kind of did it under the wraps," Chris McClendon. "I live right over here at the Hancock Building. When I came outside, I had to go check the map to see what's going on. I thought this was at the United Center."

The 1968 Democratic National Convention was held August 26–29 at the International Amphitheatre in Chicago, Illinois, United States. Earlier that year incumbent President Lyndon B. Johnson had announced he would not seek reelection, thus making the purpose of the convention to select a new presidential nominee for the Democratic Party.[1] The keynote speaker was Senator Daniel Inouye of Hawaii.[2] Vice President Hubert Humphrey and Senator Edmund Muskie of Maine were nominated for president and vice president, respectively. The most contentious issues of the convention were the continuing American military involvement in the Vietnam War and voting reform, particularly expanding the right to vote for draft-age soldiers (age 18) who were unable to vote as the voting age was 21. The convention also marked a turning point where previously inert groups such as youth and minorities became more involved in politics and voting.
The convention of 1968 was held during a year of riots, political turbulence, and mass civil unrest. The assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. in April of that year following his opposition to the Vietnam War further inflamed racial tensions in addition to the draft and popular opposition to voter suppression. King assassination riots in more than 100 cities followed.[3][4] The convention also followed the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy, a candidate in the primary, on June 5.[5] Kennedy's assassination further derailed the convention, paving the way for the pro-war Humphrey. The Humphrey–Muskie ticket competitively failed to win the confidence of the democratic voters and so failed to unite liberals or attract anti-war voters. They were later defeated in the presidential election by the "silent majority" Republican ticket of Richard Nixon and Spiro Agnew.
