Kamala HUMILIATED After Dozens Of DNC Delegates Refuse To Support Her

At the Democratic National Convention, delegates took part in a symbolic roll call vote, echoing their earlier decision to nominate Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democrat presidential candidate. However, some DNC delegates have expressed their hesitations about casting their vote for Harris, as they remain uncommitted until their concerns regarding Gaza are addressed.

The vote, merely a formality following a virtual nomination earlier this month, saw 44 delegates choose to vote “present,” a Daily Caller review reported.

The “uncommitted” trend began with February’s Listen to Michigan campaign, a grassroots initiative that rallied voters to make protest votes during the state’s primary. Surpassing expectations, the campaign secured more than 13 percent of the vote. Building on this momentum, the movement spread nationally, prompting voters in liberal states like Hawaii, Washington, and Minnesota to cast enough “uncommitted” ballots to send similarly minded delegates to the convention.

Members of the pro-Palestinian ‘uncommitted’ movement gathered for a rally at a park near the DNC, pushing for the inclusion of a Palestinian-American speaker at the Democratic convention. At the rally on Wednesday, they amplified their calls for Democrat leaders to intensify efforts to end the conflict in Gaza.

“We supply these weapons, so if you really wanted a ceasefire, just stop sending the weapons,” Democratic U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) said to supporters of the cause on Wednesday. “It’s that simple.”

According to The Seattle Times, some members of the Uncommitted movement, including Washington state’s Yaz Kader and Sabrene Odeh, are officially uncommitted delegates. Both chose to vote “present” during the virtual roll call earlier in August as part of a strategic effort to pressure Harris to endorse a ceasefire and support an embargo on U.S. weapons to Israel.

“I entered my vote on behalf of a 10-year-old who was bombed and killed on her 10th birthday,” said Odeh.

During the second night of the DNC in Chicago, more than a dozen pro-Palestinian demonstrators were arrested following a protest that started outside the Israeli consulate and extended onto nearby streets. The demonstration was winding down when Chicago police handcuffed several participants. Despite this, the remaining protesters continued to chant, calling for an end to the war in Gaza as the convention activities proceeded.

Tonight’s DNC will spotlight Governor Tim Walz (D-MN), the vice-presidential nominee, as he delivers the keynote address. This marks a significant step in introducing him as Harris’ running mate. The convention will also feature prominent figures such as former President Bill Clinton and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). A key topic of discussion will be the January 6 breach. On the GOP side, independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. plans to suspend his campaign this Friday, according to reports. Kennedy is reportedly considering an endorsement of former President Donald Trump.
