Here's why pro-Palestinian protests targeting Harris will backfire

As Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign gains momentum, a growing number of pro-Palestinian protesters have turned their attention toward her, vowing to make their voices heard at her campaign events and at the upcoming Democratic National Convention in Chicago.

Their frustration is understandable: The Biden administration’s support for Israel has been a source of deep disappointment for many and as vice president, Harris has been a key part of that administration.




Pro-Palestinian protesters are free to claim credit for President Joe Biden ending his reelection bid, or Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro not getting the vice-presidential nod from Harris. But their consistent efforts to undermine Harris as the Democratic presidential nominee only serve to ultimately harm their cause—both by increasing the odds that Donald Trump will win the election and generating the kind of bad blood that will make a Harris administration less likely to want to work with them.

“One thing I do is, any student that protests, I throw them out of the country. You know, there are a lot of foreign students,” GOP nominee Trump said at a May 14 fundraising event. “As soon as they hear that, they’re going to behave.”

Biden residing? Maybe she needs to consult her Arabic to English dictionary before posting.

for the terrible loss of civilian lives in Gaza and has certainly signaled a different approach to Biden on this issue. What are these protesters going to do, vote for the Muslim hating and banning orange turd? I don't think so.
