While campaigning for governor in 2018, Whitmer said she “strongly” supports a Michigan law that penalises companies that boycott Israel

Like other US officials, Newsom strongly condemned the October 7 attack and travelled to Israel last year, where he expressed uncompromising support for the country.
“Despite the horror, what I saw and heard from the people of Israel was a profound sense of resilience. A commitment to community and common purpose, especially in these most difficult of times,” he said in a statement after his trip on October 20. “That’s the Israeli spirit. And it’s also the California spirit.”

With regards to the war in Gaza, Shapiro has been a staunch supporter of Israel.
“The whataboutism used by some to justify Hamas’s unprovoked actions is ignorant and wrong,” he said last year. “There is no moral equivalency here. Israel has a right to defend itself.”

During his presidential run, Buttigieg expressed support for Israel.
Asked whether he would pledge to place conditions on aid to Israel to prevent annexation, he said: “If you’re asking me to commit to withdrawing American support for Israel, the answer is no.”

I keep hearing that. It sounds like a threat that black voters will stay away in droves if she's passed over.

Does she even overwhelmingly identify as African-American? I always thought she hyped up the Indian side of her family more and that black-Americans didn't necessarily identify with her.

We’ll see how many do but this seems like quite a decent number on short notice.

Joe Manchin rules himself out of running for the Democratic nomination.

I doubt he needed to do that.

….hope I’m wrong but I feel this race is run and Trump will win. The Democrats are looking for a short-term candidate but who stands in 5 years might be more significant and maybe that’s what some of those being nominated are thinking of.

There’s a path. In the states that are up for grabs I think she’ll need Pennsylvanian, Wisconsin, and Michigan to start. Shapiro might help with with Pennsylvania. The others might swing with the undecideds who didn’t want Trump or Biden. It’s hopeful but there’s a definite possibility that she can get this done.

She polls against Trump over black voters overwhelmingly (78% to 14%). But Biden had a 70% to 12% advantage over Trump amongst those voters.

I just wonder if that support crumbles if another Democrat enters as candidate, especially if the Obama's are withholding support for Harris and asking for an open contest.

….looking forward to the Harris speech this morning.

She needs to absolutely boss it
