Lebanese Americans endorse Kamala Harris for president, citing Biden administration’s support for Lebanon. The signatories, including prominent figures like Donna Shalala and Ray LaHood, believe Harris will continue to back Lebanon if elected in November.
Amid ongoing Israeli operations in Lebanon, causing significant casualties and displacements, some Arab Americans and Muslims are distancing themselves from the Democratic Party due to its stance on Israel. Despite this, Harris has garnered support from various community leaders.
The letter, organized by the American Task Force on Lebanon, highlights Harris’s commitment to addressing violence and promoting reforms in Lebanon, contrasting her views with Trump’s vague stance on the situation. The signatories emphasize the urgent need for a ceasefire to prevent further devastation in Lebanon.
As the Lebanese people endure hardship, the endorsement of Harris signals hope for support and change in their country. With the election approaching, the backing of Lebanese Americans adds a new dimension to the political landscape, advocating for peace and stability in the region.
