The “Uncommitted” movement, formed in opposition to the Biden administration’s stance on Gaza, announced it would not endorse Vice President Kamala Harris. The decision comes after Harris refuses to halt US military aid to Israel or support an immediate ceasefire, raising concerns that this could dampen Democratic turnout in key swing states like Michigan.
- Refusal to Endorse: The “Uncommitted” group, formed during the Democratic primaries, has officially withdrawn its support for Harris over her Gaza policy.
- Criticism of US Aid to Israel: The group condemns Harris’ stance on unconditional US military aid to Israel and her silence on international human rights law violations.
- Impact on Michigan Vote: With Michigan’s significant Arab American population, the movement’s decision not to endorse Harris could affect turnout in the crucial swing state.
- Rejection of Trump: While not endorsing Harris, “Uncommitted” leaders warn against voting for Trump, criticizing his plans to escalate violence in Gaza.
With mounting dissatisfaction over US foreign policy in Gaza, the “Uncommitted” movement’s rejection of Harris adds complexity to the upcoming 2024 election, especially in battleground states like Michigan.
