Footage from the scene showed crowds carrying banners, beating drums, and calling out slogans like “Palestine will be free” and “Normalize the intifada.” A photograph of Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar was seen held aloft.
The campaign rally was not sanctioned by Harris’s campaign and neither Harris nor her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz, was present. The event was, however, attended by other notable Democrats like New York City Mayor Eric Adams, Gov. Kathy Hochul, and Representative Adriano Espaillat.

The protesters who disrupted the rally were escorted out by police.
Adams, who was speaking during some of the disruptions, underscored the importance of unity among the party’s supporters, saying that the election is “the real fight.” READ MORE
