Harris campaign says it doesn’t support Israel arms embargo

Ms Harris’s rally on Wednesday took place in a swing state that is home to the largest Arab-American community in the US.

Leaders of the Uncommitted movement said in a statement that they had a chance to speak to the vice-president before the rally and told her that the US needed an arms embargo.

“We want to support you, Vice President Harris, and our voters need to see you turn a new page on Gaza policy that includes embracing an arms embargo,” Abbas Alawieh, a co-founder of Uncommitted, said he told the Democratic nominee.

Afterwards, a number of pro-Palestinian protestors gathered at the rally and interrupted Ms Harris’s speech, chanting: “Kamala, Kamala, you can’t hide, we won’t vote for genocide”.

Ms Harris responded by telling the crowd: “Everyone’s voice matters.”

But as the protestors continued to chant, she stopped again and said: “You know what? If you want Donald Trump to win, then say that. Otherwise, I’m speaking.”

Both Trump and Ms Harris have made a number campaign stops in the Midwest this week as they try to woo voters in critical swing states.

The latest poll, from Marquette University Law School, shows Ms Harris is leading Trump 53% to 47% among likely voters, a big bump from when Mr Biden was still in the race and was trailing Trump nationally and in several battleground states.
