Democrats Confront Ongoing Gaza Dilemma Months After Harris’ Campaign Setback

Four months post-Kamala Harris’ electoral defeat, the Democratic Party finds itself grappling with a persistent issue: how to address the concerns of pro-Palestinian voters. A coalition of four progressive advocacy groups has penned a letter to the Democratic National Committee (DNC), urging enhanced engagement with these voters—a clear indication that the party’s internal strife regarding the Israel-Hamas conflict may continue to loom over the upcoming midterms.

In the correspondence directed to DNC Chair Ken Martin and Executive Director Roger Lau, organizations such as the IMEU Policy Project, IfNotNow, Gen-Z for Change, and Justice Democrats accuse the Harris campaign of adopting stances that effectively “demonized” and “overlooked” Democratic constituents critical of Israel’s actions in Gaza. This discontent was exacerbated by the campaign’s limited follow-up with individuals who expressed concerns about Gaza in response to outreach efforts, as disclosed by an anonymous Harris campaign organizer.

The advocacy groups are calling on the DNC to enhance its data collection methods regarding these voter sentiments and to investigate the Harris campaign’s approach in light of Martin’s commitment to a post-election review. They’re requesting a discussion with the new chair prior to the report’s release to share their insights on voter engagement related to Gaza.

Furthermore, they seek to assess whether the stances taken by Harris and President Joe Biden regarding Israel and Palestine have alienated voters, referencing post-election polling that indicated “ending Israel’s violence in Gaza” was a priority issue for nearly 30% of Biden voters in 2020 who then opted for another candidate in 2024. The economy followed closely as a secondary concern.

In a move that could signal more significant intra-party conflict over Israel policy, the groups are advocating for a ban on super PAC spending in Democratic primaries, aiming to curtail the influence of the powerful pro-Israel lobby, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).

The DNC has yet to respond to inquiries regarding the letter.

Last year’s pro-Palestinian protests, triggered by the Biden administration’s handling of the conflict, catalyzed a shift toward a bloc of “uncommitted” voters, creating a rift among traditional Democratic supporters and impacting Harris in key Democratic Arab American regions. Community leaders have since criticized the strategic missteps made by the Harris campaign, citing the refusal to allow a Palestinian American to speak at the Democratic National Convention and the dismissal of protesting voices at campaign rallies critical of her support for Israel.

“The disconnect between the Democratic base and the Harris campaign could have been addressed well before the election,” the advocacy groups contend in their letter to Martin. “Ignoring the pressing concerns of Democratic voters, whether it’s rising living costs or halting U.S. complicity in international conflicts, is a recipe for electoral defeat.”

This letter arrives amidst renewed discussions following the arrest of a Palestinian graduate student involved in anti-Israel protests at Columbia University, which has reignited debates surrounding immigration, free speech, and anti-war demonstrations on college campuses. Since the election of Donald Trump, pro-Palestinian organizations in the U.S. have faced the challenge of navigating an administration that has been notably critical of their movement.
