We've got to get a hostage deal done and get a ceasefire done now.” Harris has faced demonstrations from people critical of hers and President Joe Biden’s support for Israel during its war against Hamas in Gaza after the surprise attack on October 7, when the terror group killed 1,200 people and took 251 hostages. During a rally in Detroit earlier this month, Harris responded bluntly to hecklers who were chanting, “Kamala Kamala you can’t hide, we won’t vote for genocide.” “If you want Donald Trump to win, then say that. “And the president and I are working around the clock every day to get that ceasefire deal done and bring the hostages home.” During the Democratic National Convention last week, many delegates who represented voters in Michigan, Minnesota and elsewhere who had voted “uncommitted” in the primaries pushed for Harris to call for a ceasefire and stop sending arms to Israel, which Harris did not agree to do.
