Julian Zelizer : Kamala Harris' campaign was bogged down by its refusal to break from the White House’s deeply unpopular position on arming and funding an ongoing genocide.

He says the vice president's decision to go to the center has costs, but it's not a perpetual vote-getting machine.

Zelizer says the campaign and its major PAC allies never had to show the math on how this gambit made sense.

Jill Biden’s campaign strategy was that everyone would have a seat at the table, even if the plate would most likely end up being empty.

But the broader theme of the campaign was that the Democratic Party's support for Israel 's elimination of a people in whole or in part would not have worked.

The Uncommitted Movement begged Harris to change course but she refused.
