‘Squad’ holdout: Rashida Tlaib refuses to endorse Kamala Harris at Michigan rally

Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib publicly refused to endorse Vice President Harris during a rally in Detroit — a critical decision that could tip the scales against Democrats in Michigan.

The move carries significant electoral implications, with Michigan part of the Democrats “blue wall” of must-win states in the 2024 presidential election.

A Trump triumph there would hamper Harris’ chances of winning the White House.

Tlaib, a member of the House’s far-left “Squad,” is upset with the Biden-Harris administration’s support for Israel.

The only Palestinian-American in Congress, she has been openly supportive of Hamas during her time in office and has been censured by her colleagues for defending Hamas and calling for the destruction of Israel.

Tlaib, one of the last major Democrats who has withheld her endorsement from the top of the ticket, steered clear of Harris-Walz during a United Auto Workers union rally on Friday and instead offered a general plea to get out the vote, the Detroit News reported.
