Former aides to Kamala Harris’ 2020 presidential campaign are collecting signatures for a letter urging the vice president to “seek an immediate cease-fire” between Israel and Hamas, and calling Israel’s Gaza campaign “genocide.”
Politico notes that the letter, "even in draft form, illustrates the degree to which the conflict in Gaza has become a political tinderbox, pitting traditional Democratic constituencies against facets of the party’s elected leadership." In contrast, some progressive Democrats are calling for a cease-fire as thousands of casualties from the war mount in Gaza.
Even before the war, Democrat sympathies had shifted from the Israelis to the Palestinians, according to a Gallup poll taken in February 2023. It revealed that 49% of Democrats said they are more sympathetic toward the Palestinians, while 38% said they were more sympathetic toward the Israelis, the lowest support for Israel in the data, which show trends since 2001.
