Joe Biden
The Jewish Democratic Council of America said California Sen. Kamala Harris “prioritizes the same issues as Jewish voters and will work diligently to defend our values in the White House.”
If nominated, Harris would become the first black woman to be chosen as a running mate for a major-party candidate. She would also be the third woman tapped for the vice-presidential slot, following former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and New York Rep. Geraldine Ferraro.
The Democratic platform includes language that expresses support for the U.S.-Israel relationship, a pledge to maintain security funding for Israel and backing for a two-state solution.
U.S. President Donald Trump “continues to ignore our international allies and pursue his maximalist approach without any real plan to verifiably prevent a nuclear-armed Iran,” says Aaron Keyak, Jewish outreach director for the presumptive 2020 Democratic presidential nominee’s campaign.
“My constituents don’t need to be bogged down in, ‘Is he the best candidate?’ ” said the Michigan congresswomen. “That’s not what you have to convince my residents.”
“With Joe Biden, we will have a seat at the table and will address and heal the deep wounds that fracture our country,” she said.
Aaron Keyak has previously served as communications director for Reps. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) and Steve Rothman (D-N.J.).
According to a recent report, however, the pressure campaign has had little significant impact.
Tony Blinken stresses former Vice President and current Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s pledge that Washington wouldn’t re-enter the 2015 Iran nuclear deal until Tehran returns to compliance.
The decision comes amid international outcry from the European Union, members of the U.S. Democractic Party and former Vice President Joe Biden.
The former vice president also pointed out that the Palestinians “need to end incitement,” and that violence is “no justification for terrorism.”
“It is utterly immoral to fund the P.A. while it continues to incite hatred and terror; glorify Jews killers in the media; and names P.A. schools, streets, government buildings, public squares and sports teams in honor of terrorists,” said the Zionist Organization of America.
