The World Can Now See Kamala Harris in its Most Powerful Job
PoliticoSome Trump critics had argued prior to the showdown that he was a stand-in for the autocrats a future President Harris may encounter — the Vladimir Putins and Xi Jinpings of the world. By the time the debate was over, several foreign officials from both U.S. allies and more neutral countries told me they felt more confident that Harris could handle the tricky personalities she’d encounter while in the world’s most powerful job. He alleged that Israel would cease to exist within two years if Harris becomes president and that he’d resolve the Russia-Ukraine war while still president-elect. But the Democrat also called for a cease-fire to the war in Gaza and used a phrase that many in the upper echelons of the Biden administration have stopped using: “two-state solution.” It was a promise to Muslim American, Arab American and other voters who have been infuriated by Biden’s handling of the war that Harris believes Palestinians should have their own country. He called Biden a “weak, pathetic man” and even claimed Biden “hates” his vice president because she replaced him as the Democrats’ presidential nominee.
