Cheney, \u200dwho has publicly\u200b opposed Trump, endorsed Harris, comparing her support to \u2062moments that\u200d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/retro-rfk-jr-ad-mirroring-jfk-commercial-runs-during-super-bowl\/\" title=\"Retro RFK Jr. ad mimics JFK commercial in Super Bowl\">transcend party affiliations<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>However, Cheney&#8217;s past controversial positions have sparked backlash among pro-Palestinian groups, particularly from \u200dthe Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).

The latest statement from CAIR, a Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, condemned her efforts to relate to Republicans dissatisfied with former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;If Liz Cheney had ever advocated for the torture of Ukrainians instead of Arabs, or if she had delivered a keynote speech to an anti-Semitic conference instead of an Islamophobic conference, she would not be embraced and rehabilitated today by any mainstream leader,&rdquo; Mitchell added.<\/p>\n<p>Cheney spoke alongside Harris at a rally labeled &ldquo;Country over Party&rdquo; on Friday, an endeavor aimed at converting Republicans to vote for the Democratic candidate.

Many progressive voters aligned with the movement to see a ceasefire in Gaza have disavowed the current administration&rsquo;s pro-Israel stance, and Harris has worked to add nuance to her stance.<\/p>\n<p>Cheney&rsquo;s endorsement may undermine that. She denounced the U.S.&rsquo;s decision to withhold arms to Israel in May, saying in a social media post: &ldquo;Withholding aid to Israel is wrong and dangerous. America must not abandon Israel. Doing so would mean victory for Iran and all its terrorist allies.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>While there&rsquo;s little chance anti-Israel voters would convert to Trump&rsquo;s cause, a lack of turnout among the Democratic constituency, or a turnout in favor of Green Party candidate Jill Stein, who has expressed her views opposing Israel, could be damaging, especially in Michigan.<\/p>\n<p>Muslim Americans and Arab Americans are a crucial voting bloc for Harris in Michigan, which holds the largest Muslim population of any swing state and the largest population percentage of Arab Americans of any state at 2.11%.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title><strong><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Harris is <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/priscialva\/status\/1842230828761313658\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>set to meet<\/a> with a group of Arab American and Muslim American leaders in Flint, Michigan, on Friday, according to CNN. <em>Real Clear Politics&rsquo;s<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolling.com\/polls\/president\/general\/2024\/michigan\/trump-vs-harris\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>polling average shows<\/a> Harris with a slim 48.3% to 47.6% lead over Trump in the state.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Washington Examiner <\/em>contacted Harris&rsquo;s campaign to ask for comment on the matter but did not receive a response.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <script>!function(){var g=window;g.googletag=g.googletag||{},g.googletag.cmd=g.googletag.cmd||[],g.googletag.cmd.push(function(){g.googletag.pubads().setTargeting(\"has-featured-video\",\"true\")})}();<\/script><script>var _bp=_bp||[];_bp.push({\"div\":\"Brid_1776061\",\"obj\":{\"id\":\"27789\",\"width\":\"1280\",\"height\":\"720\",\"stickyDirection\":\"below\",\"video\":\"1776061\"}});<\/script><script defer src=\"https:\/\/services.brid.tv\/player\/build\/brid.min.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Harris faces backlash from pro-Palestinian voters over Cheney endorsement<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2350866,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/AP24277828500614.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[3726,4021,36160,32179],"class_list":["post-2350865","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-cheney","tag-harris","tag-political-controversy","tag-pro-palestinian"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/AP24277828500614.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2350865","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2350865"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2350865\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2350866"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2350865"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2350865"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2350865"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
