Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib refused to publicly endorse Kamala Harris during a rally in swing state Michigan's Detroit. At a United Auto Workers union rally, Tlaib steered clear of Harris-Walz and said, "Don’t underestimate the power you all have." The Palestinian American is the only one in the Squad to withhold her support for Harris. The other Squad members Alexandria Ocasio-Cortex, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley endorsed Kamaal Harris.
"More than those ads, those lawn signs, those billboards, you all have more power to turn out people that understand we’ve got to fight back against corporate greed in our country . . . We’ve got to make sure that the nonpartisan part of the ballot gets filled in.”
While Tlaib has not made any endorsement so far, far-Left anti-war candidates like Jill Stein and Cornel West will appear on Michigan's presidential ballot.
Tlaib has been vocal in criticizing the Biden administration's Israel policy and the Israel-Gaza war is a top issue in the battleground state Michigan where more than 100,000 voters cast their ballots for “uncommitted” in the state’s primary earlier this year, spurring concerns about the Democratic presidential candidate’s chances in the state.
"Trump is a proud Islamophobe + serial liar who doesn't stand for peace. The reality is that the Biden admin’s unconditional support for genocide is what got us here. This should be a wake-up call for those who continue to support genocide. This election didn't have to be close," Tlaib posted on X.
Tlaib has been openly supporting Hamas during her time in office and has been censured by her colleagues for defending Hamas and calling for the destruction of Israel.
Harris faced protests on the trail in the state, as demonstrators called for her to break with President Joe Biden and support an arms embargo on Israel. Harris has been endorsed by several other leaders in the Arab American and Muslim community, and aides have met privately with leaders across battleground states in recent months.
