Vice President Kamala Harris’ first public appearance with Tim Walz saw a large crowd in Philadelphia, while her Detroit appearance disappointed anti-war advocates
I have no doubt she’ll continue current policy. Honestly, it’s not a conspiracy theory to claim Israel has a tight grip on American politics, in a number of ways, and has had for decades. Even if you discount the vast sums of money they contribute to political campaigns at all levels, and the voting blocks they control, they’ve been our strongest - and only really constant - regional ally in the Middle East. And there’s that public sentiment to consider.
It’s an uphill battle, and you’re right that at the moment she’s shielded by her position; however, I doubt she’ll shift position is elected. She’s shown no sympathy for Palestinians, has shut down protesters, and is still talking the support-Israel even as they commit gross war atrocities.
But regardless of her personal feelings, which we can’t know, I think she’s going to toe the line Israel draws for her. Like any US President.
