“Harris was not strong on foreign policy as a presidential candidate, and she was not selected by President Biden to be his running mate based on her foreign policy credentials.”
“And I think she is someone who is committed to a vision of American prosperity and multiculturalism and the kind of positive, forward-looking, amazing things that resonate with people who share my values.”
“Having a relationship with Israel doesn’t mean saying yes to everything all the time. That’s not what we’re trying to do. I believe Harris can stand up in a way that Trump wouldn’t.”
“I work on a college campus, so I am very concerned about the role that the campus or institutions of higher education are supposed to play in our society and how much they’re failing at that mission.”
“I think [both candidates are] lousy. I may not vote for president. I would not vote for Joe Biden. I also don’t think I can vote for Donald Trump.”
“[October 7] reconfirmed the belief I had before October 7—that I was for Biden. And I think Biden has done extraordinarily well since October 7.”
“I think President Biden has been a strong supporter of Israel and certainly has during the response to the October 7 attacks.”
“I work on a college campus, so I am very concerned about the role that the campus or institutions of higher education are supposed to play in our society and how much they’re failing at that mission.”
“I’ll still be voting for Biden because there’s no other candidate I can actually morally and ethically vote for given the state of the world.”
“I absolutely never considered myself a Zionist. I kind of do now. Because of the antisemitism and attacks on Israel.”
