The future of the Democratic presidential race may be shifting as Joe Biden exits the race and Kamala Harris gains momentum, but not all Democrats are on board. Harris’ campaign has seen immense support in terms of fundraising, with critics calling for a change in policy on Gaza and a ceasefire in the ongoing conflict.
Arab Americans, especially in key swing states like Michigan and Minnesota, are pushing for Harris to align with Palestinians and take a stronger stance on Gaza. The Uncommitted Movement, which gained traction during the primaries, is urging for a shift away from Biden’s approach to the conflict. They are calling for an end to military aid to Israel and a policy that prioritizes human rights.
Harris has made statements in favor of a ceasefire and has been critical of the conditions in Gaza, but some are skeptical of whether her policies will differ significantly from Biden’s. Her husband’s Jewish American background and the pressure from pro-Israel groups may also influence her stance on the issue.
Despite the divide among Democrats, there is growing pressure from various groups, including labor unions and young people, for a change in policy on Gaza. As the election approaches, all eyes are on Harris to see how she will navigate this issue and whether she will address the demands of the Uncommitted Movement and other critics.
