Harris faces protests over Palestine issue
Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz have been under intense pressure from Free Palestine activists since forming their presidential ticket.
Harris has faced protests in Michigan and Arizona over US policies in Gaza.
Some groups have expressed disappointment at the duo’s stance, which mirrors President Joe Biden’s pro-Israel position.
Democratic National Committee member James Zogby has urged Harris and Walz to win back protest voters.
Uncommitted delegate Laura Keating has noted a surge in engagement since President Biden’s withdrawal from the race.
Harris has condemned the killings of Palestinians in Gaza but supports Israel’s right to defend itself.
She has focused on securing a cease-fire and addressing humanitarian concerns.
Walz acknowledges the need for change, but also supports Israel’s right of defense.
Some members of the Free Palestine movement have signaled they see a possible opening to make inroads with the new Democratic ticket on the issue of Israel’s war on Gaza.
