Biden's abortion attack on Trump disrupted by Gaza protests

New Indian Express  

MANASSAS: Joe Biden attacked Donald Trump over the key election issue of abortion rights Tuesday, but pro-Palestinian hecklers carried out their most disruptive protest yet against the US president as he spoke. Demonstrators shouting "Genocide Joe has got to go" interrupted the Democrat at least 10 times during the rally in Manassas, Virginia, his first campaign event of 2024 alongside Vice President Kamala Harris. While Biden's rally was part of an attempt to put abortion rights front and center of his election campaign, the heckling highlighted another problem area among some Democratic voters. Protesters have disrupted previous Biden events over his support for Israel during its military offensive on Gaza after Hamas's October 7 attacks, but the demonstrations on Tuesday were the most sustained to date.
