Palestinian-American congresswoman refuses to endorse Harris, three days before US elections
Palestinian-American Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib has declined to endorse Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, three days before the US presidential elections.
Appearing at a rally in Detroit, Michigan alongside fellow progressive Democratic lawmaker Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Tlaib encouraged attendees to get out the vote, without mentioning the US vice president.
The three other members of the “Squad,” the progressive contingent of Democrats — Ocasio-Cortez, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota — have all endorsed Harris.
