President Joe Biden visited Philadelphia on Monday to announce a $22 million federal grant that will recommission fire companies closed during the 2009 recession.

Pro-Palestine demonstrators took Biden's visit as an opportunity to demand he support a humanitarian cease-fire in Gaza, or else lose their support in the November election.
