How Gaza Is Showing Up in Chicago

The Run-Up

About this episode

After two days of the Democratic National Convention, one thing is clear.

Democrats are united behind their new nominee.

And Kamala Harris has those in the Democratic Party, from the high-profile speakers to the delegates in the hall, thinking they can win.

In fact, the unity is such that after months of worrying about whether the convention would be upended by protests over Israel’s war in Gaza, so far, things feel quiet.

But does anger over foreign policy still pose an electoral threat?

On today’s show, a conversation with Abbas Alawieh, an uncommitted delegate from Michigan, and people who came to Chicago to protest.
