DNC 2024 Day 2 live updates: 'Yes, she can': Obama endorses Harris, blasts Trump

Rep. Maxwell Frost, the youngest member of Congress, spoke with ABC News Live anchor Kyra Phillips about the enthusiasm Gen Z has for Kamala Harris.

"Young people are excited about Kamala Harris and I think it's for many different reasons," he said. "No. 1, it's her authenticity. She's been going viral on TikTok, online, Twitter and a lot of it has to do with her as a human, her as a person, the things she loves, who she is, and the things she says."

Frost added that young people like Harris because "they hear her message, and then they see themselves represented in her and what she's fighting for and all the amazing people that we have here today."

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's remarks Tuesday to the women's caucus at the DNC were interrupted by pro-Palestinian protesters.

Walz was recognizing the role women had in aiding him as governor, and was praising former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Vice President Kamala Harris before demonstrators started chanting, "Stop killing women in Gaza! Stop killing women in Gaza!"

They unfurled banners in the middle of the room as the audience tried to drown out their protest.

Walz briefly paused his remarks and looked at the protesters before continuing his speech, without acknowledging them.

The protesters were escorted out of the ballroom where they continued their calls for a cease-fire in Gaza and for the end of arms transfers to Israel.

A delegate, who only identified herself as Michelle and a New York delegate, fiercely countered the protesters, accusing them of helping Donald Trump by protesting.

There were 10 arrests made during Monday's fencing breach at the DNC, Chicago Police Superintendent Larry Snelling told reporters on Tuesday.

"I couldn't be more proud of how Chicago Police Department responded under those circumstances," Snelling said. "We put on display the trainings and the preparation that we've been engaged in for over a year now. That being said, moving forward, we do expect to see, or protest or demonstrate tactics again. We're up to the challenge."

Snelling said there were 13 arrests total on Monday, which ranged from criminal trespass to battery on a police officer.

On reports that protesters were "assaulted" by police, the superintendent pushed back hard.

"Those police officers responded perfectly, and we got body cam footage to prove it. They were not hospitalized for injuries."
