The sentiment was clear, even if the policy details were not. In her DNC speech on Aug. 22, Harris again teased a more hard-line stance on Israel. There is political danger for the fledgling candidate either way. If Harris pivoted to the left she would risk alienating the party’s considerable pro-Israel contingent, including many Jewish voters. Another question is whether or not Harris could order an arms embargo even if elected.
