A poll released Tuesday by the Institute for Middle East Understanding conducted by YouGov ranked the war in Gaza as a top issue for Democratic-leaning voters who stayed home in 2024 rather than voting in some of the key swing states that were won back by Donald Trump after he lost them four years prior.
Among Biden 2020 voters who did not cast their ballots for Harris, 29% said “ending Israel’s violence in Gaza” was the main factor affecting their vote — making it the most cited issue among several options, according to a poll by YouGov and the Institute for Middle East Understanding (IMEU) Policy Project released Jan. 15.
A poll by the Institute for Middle East Understanding showed that VP Harris' support for Israel's attacks in Gaza decreased turnout.
During both calls, Harris noted her “unwavering” dedication to the security of Israel and ending the suffering of the Gazan people.
President Joe Biden and President-elect Donald Trump are both claiming credit for Israel and Hamas agreeing to a ceasefire deal in Gaza after the White House brought Trump’s Middle East envoy into negotiations that have dragged on for months.
Mediated by the United States during Trump's first term in the White House, the Abraham Accords are a series of bilateral agreements on the normalization of relations between Israel and several Arab nations. Arab nations that are signatories of the Abraham Accords include Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Morocco and Sudan.
The ceasefire deal marks a major win for President Joe Biden in his final days in office, but President-elect Donald Trump is also seeking credit.
CBS tapped a veteran executive to help tackle “perceived bias” at the Tiffany Network and its flagship show “60 Minutes” – including Sunday’s report on the war in Gaza that critics slammed for being “one-sided” against Israel.
New polling - Kamala Harris' refusal to break with the Biden administration's position on Israel's relentless assault on Gaza had an impact.
Kamala Harris has hinted that she wants to stay involved in politics and foreign affairs after leaving the vice president's office, but she hasn't disclosed any plans so far.
The outgoing vice president has yet to tell the full story of her 107-day campaign for president in her own words.
