The “Uncommitted” movement seeking a change in the Democratic Party’s approach to the war in Gaza on Thursday announced it is not ready to support Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris — while urging voters not to back Republican nominee Donald Trump or third-party candidates who could help Trump win the November election.
During this spring’s Democratic primaries, the Uncommitted campaign rallied hundreds of thousands of voters to deny support to President Joe Biden unless he ends his near-total support for Israel’s offensive in the Palestinian region. After Biden passed the torch to Harris in July, Uncommitted leaders publicly and privately urged her team to endorse a different U.S. strategy in the conflict, including by stopping the flow of American weapons to Israel.
Nearly two months later, “Vice President Harris’s unwillingness to shift on unconditional weapons policy or to even make a clear campaign statement in support of upholding existing U.S. and international human rights law has made it impossible for us to endorse her,” leaders in Uncommitted said in a carefully worded statement.
