Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts attended a fundraiser for Vice President Kamala Harris in Pittsfield, marking one of her first campaign appearances since President Joe Biden announced he would not seek re-election. Warren, who ran against Harris in the 2020 primary, is seeking a third six-year term in the upcoming election. She spoke about Harris’s ascension to the top of the Democratic ticket, the Biden administration’s support for Israel’s military campaign in Gaza, criticisms from Republican rivals in Massachusetts, and more.
Warren highlighted the importance of Harris’s presence on the ticket, emphasizing issues such as women’s access to healthcare and the need for a two-state solution in the Israel-Palestine conflict. She also addressed concerns about Harris’s ties to Wall Street, underscoring the need to overturn Citizens United and return democracy to the people.
Regarding the ongoing conflict in Gaza, Warren criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for creating a humanitarian disaster and stressed the importance of providing humanitarian relief and working towards a lasting peace. She also expressed support for conditioning aid to Israel and focusing on the well-being of Palestinian civilians.
Warren’s support for Harris and her progressive views on various issues demonstrate her commitment to fighting for the people and standing up against corporate influence in politics. With the upcoming election approaching, Warren’s presence and advocacy are essential in shaping the Democratic Party’s platform and priorities.
