Sen. Ted Cruz Slams VP Kamala Harris for Lack of Support for Israel
In a recent interview on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures,” Sen. Ted Cruz criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for her failure to support Israel. Cruz suggested that Harris’s decision not to choose Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro as her running mate was influenced by the “pro-Hamas” faction within the Democratic Party.
Cruz highlighted the fact that Shapiro, who is Jewish, was not selected as Harris’s VP, implying that the Democratic Party could not accept a Jewish candidate. He urged viewers to question why Shapiro was not chosen, asserting that the answer lies in the current state of the Democratic Party.
The Timing of Cruz’s Remarks
Cruz’s comments come at a crucial time, just two days before Election Day. Both Harris and former President Trump are making their final appeals in the seven battleground states that will determine the outcome of the race.
Harris’s Struggle to Form a Winning Coalition
Cruz pointed out the challenges Harris has faced in building a winning coalition, specifically in Michigan and Pennsylvania. Despite Harris’s attempts to appeal to Jewish voters in Pennsylvania, Cruz argued that the Biden administration, in which Harris serves, is the most anti-Israel administration in American history.
Cruz Accuses Harris of Deception
Cruz accused Harris of lying to the people of Pennsylvania, emphasizing her four years as vice president. He argued that Harris, along with Joe Biden, has presided over the single most anti-Israel administration the country has ever seen.
The Tight Race in Pennsylvania
According to the Real Clear Politics polling average, the race in Pennsylvania is extremely close in the final days leading up to the election, with Trump holding a slim 0.3 point lead in this critical battleground state. Betting odds also show a tight race, with Trump having a 53.5% chance of winning Pennsylvania, according to ElectionBettingOdds.com. The latest Fox News Power Rankings rate Pennsylvania as a toss-up.
Shapiro’s Potential Impact
Cruz suggested that Shapiro, who enjoys positive approval ratings among Pennsylvania voters, could have helped secure the state for Harris if she had chosen him as her running mate. He argued that the pro-Hamas wing of the Democratic Party prevented this from happening.
No Response from the Harris Campaign
The Harris campaign has yet to respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital regarding Cruz’s statements.
