Uncommitted Movement Declines to Endorse Harris

The Uncommitted National Movement has announced it will not endorse Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming presidential election, citing her failure to shift on unconditional weapons policy and her lack of support for U.S. and international human rights law amidst the ongoing Gaza conflict. The group argues that endorsing Harris is impossible due to her administration's policies, while also expressing strong opposition to a potential Donald Trump presidency, which they claim would exacerbate violence in Gaza and suppress anti-war organizing. The movement has urged its supporters to avoid third-party votes in key swing states, as they could inadvertently assist in delivering a Trump presidency due to the flawed electoral college system. This decision comes as the group continues to push for policy changes that would halt U.S. military support to Israel, amidst a humanitarian crisis that has reportedly resulted in over 41,000 Palestinian deaths since October. The lack of endorsements from such a prominent movement may pose challenges for Harris in mobilizing voters within the Democratic base. Their statement underscores the ongoing tensions within the Democratic Party regarding Middle Eastern policy and the representation of pro-Palestinian voices.
