Arab-American Pac rejects Trump and Harris over Israel stance

An influential Arab-American political action committee (PAC) has publicly refused to support both Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 U.S. presidential election. The decision stems from the PAC's discontent with both candidates’ strong backing of Israel, especially amidst escalating Middle East tensions. The group expressed disappointment in the bipartisan approach to U.S.-Israel relations, arguing that neither candidate adequately represents the concerns of the Arab-American community.

Arab-American Pac rejects Trump and Harris over Israel stance

The Arab-American PAC’s decision to reject both major candidates highlights growing frustration within the community regarding U.S. foreign policy. The PAC is particularly concerned about the continuous support for Israel without considering the humanitarian impact on Palestinians, a central issue for many Arab-Americans.

Trump and Harris under scrutiny 

Both Donald Trump, with his record of solid pro-Israel policies during his presidency, and Kamala Harris, as part of the current administration, have maintained unwavering support for Israel. This bipartisan stance on Israel has alienated certain voter blocs, particularly those advocating for a more balanced U.S. approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Electoral impact

The rejection of both candidates by the Arab-American PAC raises questions about how this influential group will mobilize politically in the upcoming election. Their decision could affect voter turnout in key swing states where Arab-American populations have the potential to sway electoral outcomes.
