Alencia Johnson: Dems Are Doing Well on Abortion, But the Israel-Hamas War Is Going To Be a Deciding Issue in This Election
EXCERPT:
JOHNSON: "Yeah, I think the Biden campaign and the White House should be very concerned about this vote because this is the first time it‘s being put directly in front of voters and them making a statement, right? Folks have been talking about how this decision around continuing to support Netanyahu and the Israeli government has been a top priority, but this is going to be the data point. I do think the campaign and the White House are paying attention. They have sent campaign officials as well as policy officials to meet with the Arab and Muslim community. But it‘s beyond just the Arab and Muslim community. A lot of young voters, a lot of progressive voters, a lot of black voters, this is their issue. So while the president and Democrats are doing really well on abortion, which will be a deciding issue the cycle, this is also going to be a deciding issue for a key part of the Democratic base that Biden can no longer ignore.”
