A Biden campaign rally focused on abortion rights was interrupted 13 times Tuesday by anti-war protesters criticizing the president's handling of the Israel-Hamas war.
During President Joe Biden's speech, one protester shouted "Genocide Joe," while another called for a "ceasefire now." A separate demonstrator held a sign that read "let Gaza women live," and yet another waved a Palestinian flag.
The interruptions were staggered just a few minutes apart, with the crowd of Biden supporters attempting to drown out the protesters with chants of "four more years" and other cheers backing the president as he attempted to power through.
"They feel deeply," Biden said at one point in response to a protester.
He also acknowledged that the interruptions would likely persist.
"This is going to go on for a while," Biden said. "They have this planned."
When reached for comment, a Biden campaign official said that the event was a great speech by the president.
