US Vice President and Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, campaigning in Washington, DC, faced protests from hundreds of people expressing disapproval of her administration’s Gaza policy, Anadolu reports.

As she addressed the crowd, delivering her campaign’s closing argument, around 300 protesters began chanting slogans criticising the Biden-Harris administration’s policy on Gaza, drawing attention to the civilian toll.

Demonstrators held signs calling for a weapons embargo on Israel, chanting “Kamala, what do you say? We won’t vote for you on election day. How many kids did you kill today?”

The protesters maintained their presence throughout Harris’s speech and later marched with banners toward a nearby street leading to the White House.
