On the final, and most anticipated, night of the four-day Chicago convention, Harris, 59, promised to chart a “New Way Forward” as she and Trump, 78, enter the final 11 weeks of the razor-close campaign.
After days of protests from Palestinian supporters who were disappointed at not getting a speaking spot at the convention, Harris delivered a pledge to secure Israel, bring the hostages home from Gaza and end the war in the Palestinian enclave.
“Now is the time to get a hostage deal and a ceasefire deal done,” she said to cheers. “And let me be clear, I will always stand up for Israel’s right to defend itself and I will always ensure Israel has the ability to defend itself.”
“What has happened in Gaza over the past 10 months is devastating. So many innocent lives lost, desperate hungry people fleeing for safety over and over again. The scale of suffering is heartbreaking,” she said.
I mean, she could spring it on everyone at the last minute. Like Friday before the election, come out in support of an arms embargo. It’s all anyone would be talking about and it wouldn’t matter how much money AIPAC shoves out the door.
Of course, she won’t, because we’ll keep unconditionally arming Netanyahu as he starts war after war to stay in power. If we don’t start sending troops to protect Netanyahu’s political career.
