Protesters affiliated with the Philly Palestine Coalition and National SJP have gathered outside City Hall in downtown Philadelphia, some were wielding Palestinian flags and keffiyehs.

An Instagram page affiliated with the group said that "the two leading candidates in the 2024 Amerikan [sic] presidential race both have made their positions clear: When it comes to supporting genocide, the Republicans and Democrats are as united as ever."

About 100 protesters gathered for the protest with a heavy media presence. One speaker at the protest criticized both former President Trump and Vice President Harris.

"The USA was built on supremacy," they said.
