LIVE UPDATES: Trump injured in shooting at Pennsylvania rally; The participant and the gunman were killed

Vice President Kamala Harris was interrupted by protesters Saturday at a town hall held by the nonpartisan organization Asian and Pacific Islander American Vote (APIAVote).

As he was debating former President Donald Trump’s comments, protesters protesting the Biden administration’s support for Israel’s war on Gaza began booing from the audience.

According to reporters in the room, the demonstrators — at least a small group holding a sign — interrupted and chanted, “Palestine will be free from the river to the sea.”

As he tried to continue, protesters began chanting “free, free Palestine” again, prompting supporters to drown out the protests again with “four more years”.

“We’re fighting for a democracy and democratic values ​​where everyone has the right to speak,” Harris said, then repeated, “We’re going to have four more years.”

Today in GazaThe health ministry says at least 90 Palestinians have been killed in an Israeli airstrike that its army said targeted Hamas’ military chief.

The Israeli attack took place in al-Mawasi, which is designated by Israel as a safe haven for Palestinians to fight elsewhere. According to a CNN analysis, at least one American-made munition was used in the strike, as confirmed by a former US military weapons disposal technician.

This post has been updated to clarify that Harris is speaking at APIAVote’s town hall, not an event organized by the Biden campaign.
