With just a week remaining before the high-stakes U.S. presidential election, Vice President Kamala Harris faced a wave of protests during her campaign rally at the Ellipse in Washington, D.C., where demonstrators criticized the Biden administration’s stance on Gaza. The protest drew around 300 people who interrupted Harris’s speech with chants condemning her policies and urging a halt to U.S. weapons supplies to Israel.
As Harris outlined her administration’s final campaign promises, protestors raised banners demanding a more humane approach to Gaza, with slogans like, “Kamala, what do you say? We won’t vote for you on election day,” and the piercing question, “How many kids did you kill today?” The demonstration maintained a visible and vocal presence throughout her address, later moving toward the White House to continue their march.
This incident marks another challenge for Harris and her administration in the lead-up to the November 5 election, as discontent over U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East continues to resonate domestically.
