Kamala Harris was asked how her presidency would differ from Joe Biden’s . “There is not a thing that comes to mind,” she said on The View .

But the comment rankled some members of her own base: namely, the young, progressive and non-white voters who have been distraught over the suffering inflicted by Israel in its US -backed war on Gaza .

The Biden approach to Israel , after all, has been disastrous on multiple fronts. It has been a moral catastrophe, with Israel 's wildly disproportionate campaign of indiscriminate slaughter leading to famine, plague and tens of thousands of deaths.

In February , more than 100,000 primary voters in Michigan cast uncommitted’ ballots as part of a protest movement aimed at pressuring Biden to change his stance on Gaza .

The uncommitted votes were several times greater in number than Biden ’s margin of victory in the state.

A recent national poll of Arab American voters found Trump leading by more than four points among the group.
