    All they have to do is pledge to follow the Leahy Law…

    Israel won’t comply, which means we legally can’t provide arms. Kamala doesn’t even have to be “the bad guy”, she can just say she’s choosing to follow American law and if Israel wants arms then they can comply like every other recipient has to.

    It’s really as easy as saying:

    If elected I will not break American law to send arms to foreign countries.

    Boom, election locked up.

      How many voters would she lose if she declared intent to stop assisting Isreal?

      She might possibly gain a few, but would she lose any?

        It’s a valid question and I’m sure the Harris campaign has spent considerable resources trying to get a good estimate of that number.

        It’s pretty insane that the Democratic party officials have to say, “We’d love to stop funding a genocide but our members won’t vote for us if we do that.”

        She would likely gain voters because she would be distinguishing herself from Biden who remains deeply unpopular.
