Capitol Hill is preparing for a day of protests as thousands of demonstrators gather to voice their opposition to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to Congress. With tensions high over Israel’s conflict in Gaza, security measures have been put in place to seal off the US Capitol from protesters. Various groups, including pro-Palestinian advocates, are expected to participate in the protests.

Meanwhile, FBI Director Christopher Wray testified before the House judiciary committee about the recent assassination attempt on Donald Trump, revealing that the shooter had researched the JFK assassination online. The gunman, Thomas Crooks, had flown a drone to videotape Trump’s rally and was later shot by government snipers.

In political news, March for Our Lives announced its endorsement of Kamala Harris for president, citing her commitment to gun violence prevention. And Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer stated that he would attend Netanyahu’s speech despite disagreeing with his policies.

Protests and demonstrations are being organized by various groups against Netanyahu’s address, with demands for his arrest due to allegations of war crimes. Israeli groups and pro-Israel counter-protesters are also expected to be present.

Separately, voter registration spiked following Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the presidential race, with a significant increase in registrations among young voters. Bernie Sanders condemned Netanyahu as a “war criminal” ahead of his address to Congress. Trump expressed willingness to debate Harris multiple times following his agreement to debate Biden.
