Dems Worry 2024 Could Be 1968 Redux

By    |   Friday, 17 May 2024 10:04 AM EDT

A Democrat incumbent president. Demonstrations roiling college campuses. A national political convention in Chicago. With the parallels eerily similar to 1968, some Democrats worry their August gathering to nominate a presidential nominee could resemble the chaos that resulted in Richard Nixon being swept into office.

Mobs, riots, and tear gas were seen on live television. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., sees echoes of 1968.
