Uncommitted movement declines to endorse Harris, but encourages against Trump, third-party votes

"We urge Uncommitted voters to register anti-Trump votes," the group said.

September 19, 2024, 4:29 PM

The Uncommitted movement, the pro-Palestinian group critical of the Biden administration's handling of the war in Gaza, announced Thursday that it will not endorse Vice President Kamala Harris, but also does not recommend a third-party vote in November.

The group made the announcement as Harris campaigns Thursday in Michigan, home to sizable Arab American and Muslim populations that could hold outsized sway this year in the crucial swing state. The movement was founded to push voters to vote "uncommitted" on primary ballots rather than punch a ticket for Biden to register their discontent with his tight support for Israel amid the bloody war in Gaza.

The group said in a statement that "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."

Still, the group added that it "opposes a Donald Trump presidency, whose agenda includes plans to accelerate the killing in Gaza while intensifying the suppression of anti-war organizing" and "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."

"We urge Uncommitted voters to register anti-Trump votes and vote up and down the ballot. Our focus remains on building a broad anti-war coalition both inside and outside the Democratic Party," the group said.

The statement comes before Harris campaigns in Detroit, where she'll both rally with supporters and hold an event with Oprah Winfrey.

Uncommitted has remained a thorn in the Democratic Party's side since the war in Gaza kicked off last year following Hamas' brutal attack on Israel, which killed about 1,200 people, according to Israeli officials. The Hamas-run Gaza Ministry of Health said more than 41,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the Israel-Hamas war began.

The group repeatedly criticized Biden, and Uncommitted votes in Democratic primaries raised concerns about cracks in the president's base of support, even before a ruinous June debate tanked his campaign. Uncommitted netted more than 100,000 votes in the primary in Michigan, where Trump won by about 11,000 votes in 2016.

The movement has demanded that Harris meet with Palestinian-American families who have lost family members in Gaza, as well as support an immediate cease-fire (which she has done) and an arms embargo on Israel (which she has said she opposes). Uncommitted activists also waged a sit-in at the Democratic National Convention after the party refused their demand to have a Palestinian speaker make an address.

The Harris campaign has said she will continue to meet with leaders from Palestinian, Muslim, Israeli and Jewish communities.

Harris, for her part, has sounded a more empathetic tone than Biden about the civilian death toll in Gaza but has insisted on Israel's right to defend itself and refused to make the kind of policy shifts from Biden that the Uncommitted movement sought.

Harris' campaign sounded a similar note in a statement, with a spokesperson vowing that she would "work to earn every vote, unite our country, and to be a President for all Americans" and "will continue working to bring the war in Gaza to an end in a way where Israel is secure, the hostages are released, the suffering in Gaza ends, and the Palestinian people can realize their right to dignity, security, freedom and self-determination."

Uncommitted organizers have also remained vociferously opposed to Trump, who has bear-hugged Israel and used "Palestinian" as a slur.

The war in Gaza has loomed large in Michigan given its electorate and tight statewide margins.

A super PAC affiliated with Republicans is running ads in Michigan ZIP codes with heavy Muslim or Arab populations highlighting Harris' support for Israel and second gentleman Doug Emhoff's Judaism, a seemingly back-handed attempt to hurt support for the Democratic ticket there. Harris' campaign is also running digital ads targeted to heavily Arab neighborhoods in and around Detroit emphasizing her statement that she "will not be silent about human suffering in Gaza."

In a sign of how contentious the war has been, critics of the administration's approach to Gaza have been in turn critical of each other.

"Translation: We can't endorse Kamala, even though we'd like to, because the community we claim to represent would tear us apart. So instead, we're going to publicly state that we don't support her while also not endorsing any alternative, effectively helping her win," Abandon Harris, another group that wants the U.S. to take a tougher stance in its relationship with Israel, said in a statement.

Still, Michigan Democrats touted Uncommitted's statement, particularly urging against third-party votes, as the best-case scenario for Harris given that the policy shifts they were asking for would have been difficult for the vice president to swallow.

Jim Ananich, the former Democratic state Senate leader in Michigan, dubbed the statement "close to a win."

Josh Hovey, a Michigan communications strategist, added that "the best case would have been a full endorsement because the margin of victory will likely be very close again this year and Harris needs to win this state if she's going to win the Electoral College."

But "this is the second-best scenario and sends a message to Harris that they need her to do more on this issue while also recognizing that her victory is the one that is most likely to result in the U.S. taking a stronger approach to addressing the humanitarian crisis," Hovey added.
