Upcoming 'No Kings' Protests Across U.S. Cities

On October 18, millions across the U.S. are expected to participate in the 'No Kings' protests, organized by various civil rights groups to oppose government shutdown and Trump's policies, amid criticism from Republicans who label the protests as hate rallies; the movement aims to promote equality and peaceful assembly, with significant backing and a $1 million ad campaign.

GOP figures weigh in on potential Trump arrest and call for peaceful protests.

Former Vice President Mike Pence and New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu called for peaceful and lawful protests if former President Donald Trump is indicted this week. Pence declined to comment on Trump's call for protests on social media, instead calling the investigation by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg politicized. Sununu criticized the investigation, calling it a "political circus." Criminal charges appear imminent in the case over Trump's handling of a hush money payment made during his 2016 presidential campaign, but there is no clear basis for Trump's claim that he expects to be arrested Tuesday.
