Former Clinton adviser says he ‘cannot’ commit to voting for Harris

Top Democratic strategist Doug Schoen revealed Tuesday that he is unable to commit to voting for Vice President Kamala Harris “at this point,” citing several concerns regarding her policies.

Schoen, a former adviser to former President Bill Clinton , clarified that he is “undecided” on who he will vote for but does not believe he can support Harris.

“At this point, I cannot,” Schoen said when asked if he would vote for Harris on Fox News’s The Faulkner Focus. “I would call myself undecided at this point, but I can’t vote for her for reasons related to her change in position and also the Middle East as we have talked about before. I do not believe she is sufficiently committed to Israel and fighting antisemitism."

Schoen’s comments against Harris come 11 months after the war in Gaza broke out on Oct. 7 when the Hamas terrorist group attacked Israel. Ahead of Tuesday night’s debate, pro-Palestinian groups are advocating that Harris break from President Joe Biden on his support for Israel.

The Democratic strategist previously criticized Biden’s campaign for being “uniquely tone-deaf” in ignoring him and other Democratic insiders.

Since taking Biden’s place as the Democratic Party’s 2024 presidential nominee, Harris has reversed her views on multiple policies, such as wanting to secure the southern border and no longer wanting to ban fracking.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) cast doubt on how genuine her newly held positions might be, suggesting that she is “pretending” to appear more centrist with her policy U-turns and will revert back to “hard, hard left” should she win the election.

Trump and Harris are neck and neck in key battleground states , with the two tied at 48% in Arizona, North Carolina, Georgia, and Nevada. Harris has a slight lead in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, though it is still within the data’s margin of error, which is plus or minus 2.8%.
