You can't really threaten Arab voters with a Muslim ban when someone currently in office is enabling a genocide against their family members. Literally everything else falls by the wayside. That's the top tier war crime. It's like being stabbed and someone says watch out, that other guy wants to shoot you. You're not going to net support for the guy stabbing you that way.

Now saying that, I'm voting for Harris, but I get why Arab American and other voters wouldn't, but... only if she picked Shapiro or someone like that (like Fetterman but he's not on the list lol). Otherwise, Harris seems to be better on the issue than Biden, as VP's don't have a lot of say in policy unless they're Dick Cheney and she can easily separate herself from Biden's policies. And we know Trump will be bad on the issue, he's also a known quantity. Hopefully Kamala can thread the needle of being a "new" quality on this issue. Although AIPAC probably won't have that lol.
