Abandon Biden movement remains skeptical of Harris [View all]
Vice President Kamala Harris could be inheriting some of the opposition President Joe Biden faced on the campaign trail, now that Biden has dropped out of the 2024 presidential race.
One source of opposition came from the Abandon Biden movement, angry over the administrations stance on Israels war in Gaza.
Gaza's Health Ministry says the death toll from Israel's war is approaching 40,000. That number does not distinguish between combatants and civilians. Israel's monthslong military campaign began after a Hamas-led attack in October 2023 that Israel said killed about 1,200 people. The International Criminal Court has found it's "plausible" that Israel's actions in Gaza amount to genocide.
Dearborn-based community organizer Samra'a Luqman said shes looking for a candidate willing to endorse a significant shift in policy toward Israel.
