Thousands march in Chicago against Trump

Thousands of people have demonstrated in Chicago in a pro-women anti-Trump protest dubbed 'March to the Polls'.

Thousands of people have marched through downtown Chicago to express their displeasure at President Donald Trump and encourage voters to go to the polls for next month's midterm election.

The march took place Saturday after a rally in Grant Park organised by Women's March Chicago. The group dubbed the event March to the Polls.

A sea of people took to the streets, chanting "Let's go vote!" as they walked from Grant Park to Federal Plaza. Some voters cast ballots at nearby early voting sites. Chicago is a Democratic stronghold.

Organisers say enthusiasm is high, particularly since the confirmation of Trump's Supreme Court pick, Brett Kavanaugh. Kavanaugh was accused of sexual assault but he denies the allegations.
