The leaders of the “uncommitted” movement, which grew out of Democratic opposition to President Biden’s policy toward Israel and Gaza, will not endorse Vice President Harris for president, but urged supporters to “vote against” former President Donald Trump and “avoid” third-party candidates.
“Harris’s unwillingness to shift on unconditional weapons policy or to even make a clear campaign statement in support of upholding existing U.S. and international human rights law has made it impossible for us to endorse her,” organizers of the Uncommitted National Movement said in a statement.
“At this time, our movement 1) cannot endorse Vice President Harris; 2) opposes a Donald Trump presidency, whose agenda includes plans to accelerate the killing in Gaza while intensifying the suppression of anti-war organizing; and 3) is not recommending a third-party vote in the Presidential election, especially as third party votes in key swing states could help inadvertently deliver a Trump presidency given our country’s broken electoral college system,” the statement continued.
