Activists from prominent pro-Palestinian groups said Vice President Kamala Harris lost their support during the 2024 elections because they were dissatisfied with her stance on the war in Gaza.
With pro-Palestinian Michigan voters rejecting the Democratic ticket in historic numbers on Election Day, Uncommitted co-founder Layla Elabed explained the trend by saying President-elect Donald Trump’s vow to bring peace in the region resonated with people frustrated by Harris’s association with former Republican Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney.
“There’s been many ways in which Harris chose the path of Liz Cheney and the donor class on a range of issues, and abandoning working families in places like Dearborn, who make up the people Democrats claim to be fighting for,” Elabed said during an NBC News interview.
Harris enlisted Cheney’s endorsement during her bid for the White House and even held a panel discussion with the former lawmaker in Michigan just weeks before the election.
A vocal proponent of the wars the United States has engaged in during her political career, Cheney has often invoked criticism from anti-war activists who have labeled her a warmonger and claimed she supports the “military-industrial complex” that is responsible for countless deaths.
Farah Khan, a lifelong Democrat and co-chairwoman of Michigan’s Abandon Harris campaign, said that “people wanted to hear” Trump’s pledge to “end the war” in Gaza, noting that the president-elect made a concerted effort to court the state’s pro-Palestinian community.
“He at least, at least came and spoke to the Muslims. He heard them and said, ‘OK, I will finish. I will end the war in the Middle East,’ even if he didn’t say, you know, a genocide, but he said he will bring...

I find their reasoning kind of dumb because Harris is undoubtedly more pro Palestinian.
But Trump is brilliant, and works for me.
Harris had moronic 20 something campaign advisors. They were a good fit for her. Trouble was they were moronic as was Harris. They advised her to not do Rogan as well.
Dontcha wonder if Biden or Newsome could have beaten Trump. Kamala was the worst possible choice.
lol
Harris will say more pro-Palestinian rhetoric.
But I think these people realized that she won’t actually do anything for them.
Is like the black voters, the dems will verbally pander to them, but they don’t do anything that actually benefits them.
Harris was all over the place on the Palestinian issue—at the end of the day most folks didn’t trust her.
With President Trump they know what they were getting—and knew he wanted all the wars to end.
Biden would have lost even worse, and probably lost more senate seats like the one in Michigan and Arizona.
Yeah, they haven’t figured out clthe nuances of American politics, apparently. Democrats lie. A lot. In years divisible by four, all they do is lie.
Pro-Palestinian groups are unhappy with the war? They started it! Pound sand!
It was slowing voter fraud in the swing states that did it.
I have it direct from a Muslim board certified neurologist that the Muslim community nationally supported all efforts in Dearborn to defeat Harris and elect Trump.
The motivation behind their position had essentially nothing to do with Gaza and Israel. It was all about the Harris campaign’s loud support of LBGTQblahblah issues, which they said repeatedly was profoundly against Islam’s teachings.
This was never covered very well at all because the media did not want that said.
Thanks Liz!
“even if he didn’t say, you know, a genocide”
America and our Allies killed 12% of all Germans in WWII. Did America commit genocide against the Germans in the war they started?
Israel has killed 2% of all gazans in the October 7th counterattack. Is Israel committing a genocide against gazans in the war they started?
They can keep Liz.
We’ll take Kennedy and Tulsi.
They preferred peace than perpetual wars in the region. They figured out, no way Kemala and Tampon Tim would be able to do so.
Actually, this is mostly true. Leftists hate the Chenneys more than we do now. Having Liz on your side and pushing her out there to speak for you was NOT a winning plan...
You speak truth.
This is what I would have thought most disturbed Muslims against Democrats.
The LGBTQ+ insanity is being forced down on all of us.
So the mentally ill idiots would have stuck with the giggling idiot ho if liz where not in the picture
