Pro-Palestinian Uncommitted Movement refuses to endorse Kamala Harris

The Uncommitted Movement of pro-Palestinian Democrats is withholding its endorsement from Vice President Kamala Harris after she rebuffed its latest request, the group announced Thursday, while also making clear its opposition to former President Donald Trump and the third-party candidates who might inadvertently help elect him.
“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,” the group said in a news release shared with NBC News ahead of its release.
The group said Harris had given it the cold shoulder and “fumbled” by refusing even the “small gesture” of allowing a Palestinian American speaker at last month’s Democratic National Convention.
“Now, the Vice President’s campaign is courting Dick Cheney while sidelining disillusioned anti-war voices, pushing them to consider third-party options or to sit this important election out,” the group said.
Harris’ campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
