2024 election updates: Obama criticizes comic’s Puerto Rico remarks at Trump’s MSG rally

Sen. Bernie Sanders released a video Monday night that aims to ease the concern of voters who may be weary to cast a vote for Vice President Kamala Harris due to her position on the war in Gaza.

“I understand that there are millions of Americans who disagree with President Biden and Vice President Harris on the terrible war in Gaza. I am one of them,” Sanders begins the video.

But he argues to supporters that Republicans, led by Trump, would create an even greater humanitarian crisis in the region.

“Some of you are saying how can I vote for Kamala Harris if she is supporting this terrible war — and that is a very fair question. And let me give you my best answer. And that is that even on this issue, Donald Trump and his right-wing friends are worse.”

Sanders said Trump and Congressional Republicans will work to block aid to Gaza and noted that Trump has praised Netanyahu as “doing a good job.”

“It is no wonder Netanyahu prefers to have Donald Trump in office,” Sanders said.

He said he would work with Harris to “do everything that we can to change U.S. policy toward Netanyahu.”

“We will have in my view, a much better chance of changing U.S. policy with Kamala than with Trump,” Sanders said in the video.

Sanders also made it clear that while the crisis in Gaza is important, it is “not the only issue” in this election. He argued that a Trump victory would be disastrous for abortion access, climate change and income inequality.
