But this is a tiny percentage of the overall Jewish vote.
Yeah, he’s the problem.
Agreed, but they still need to retain the Jewish vote overall. The issue here is going too far for Hamas may cost these votes. What Harris needs is a platform and position that gives the pro-Palestine folks what they want while keeping the Jewish voters happy too.
I’d argue that Harris has already done so in stating that we need an immediate ceasefire and a two state solution.
The problem is, just taking a stand is costless but going further - with punitive measures against Israel - those would likely cost.
