'It's a lot different than what we thought it was going to be six weeks ago. The energy here is just like, it's electrifying.
'We don't tend to know a ton about our vice presidents. We know maybe who they are. We don't really know their life stories for the most part.”Large crowds of pro-Palestinian protesters have gathered outside the convention demanding the U.S. stop giving military aid to Israel.“This is an important voice within the Democratic Party at this point. It's a way to have their voices heard,” said Chen.Colorado Democrats said the protests show the diversity of the party.
