PHILADELPHIA (AP) – The Democratic National Convention gets underway in Philadelphia on Monday.
The city is preparing for much bigger demonstrations than the Republican convention last week in Cleveland, and much higher temperatures.
In one of the largest rallies planned for the day, a pro-Bernie Sanders group is expected to walk across the Ben Franklin Bridge, which connects Camden, New Jersey, and Philadelphia.
The demonstrations, largely driven by Sanders supporters, have been peaceful, so far.
On Sunday, several protests were held around the city.
