Protestors breach fences surrounding the venue.
President Joe Biden gave the keynote speech on Monday night at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) at the United Center. His address came later in the evening than scheduled as earlier speakers ran long.
The president said he had given his best to the nation and appreciated the support he’d received from the American people. Vice President Harris made an appearance on stage before President Biden spoke to express gratitude for his “lifetime of service to this nation.”
Thousands participated in anti-Israel protests outside the convention, and four were arrested after some demonstrators broke through a portion of the outer fence.
The DNC Public Safety Joint Information Center stated, “Demonstrators breached a portion of anti-scale fencing along the Democratic National Convention’s outer perimeter near the United Center. … Law enforcement personnel were immediately on-scene and contained the situation. At no point was the inner perimeter breached, and there was no threat to any protectees.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For the president and members of his administration as they pursue their agenda for the remainder of his term.
- For American voters to seek God’s wisdom as they assess candidates and their platforms during this election cycle.
