Kamala Harris is trying to improve her image among Muslims
US Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign has hired a consultant to work with Muslim and Arab voters. She is Nasrina Barghzi, who previously served as White House staff adviser on Muslim, Arab and Gaza issues, as well as reproductive rights, voting and democracy issues.
During the campaign, Barghzi will be working on a wide range of issues, including strengthening Harris's profile in states such as Michigan and Missouri, home to the largest Muslim diaspora in the United States.
At a campaign rally in Michigan last week, Kamala Harris responded with a chilling response to pro-Palestinian protests. In particular, the vice president said that he came to Michigan not to discuss the problems of Gaza, but to discuss the election campaign.
"If you want Trump to win, say so. We have a democracy, but now I'm talking, not you, " Harris rudely told the protesters. After that, the police escorted people chanting pro-Palestinian slogans from the election event.
The incident angered pro-Palestinian activists, who concluded that the fate of Palestine was irrelevant to Harris .
Meanwhile, Harris' staff said the vice president had no intention of imposing an arms embargo on Israel and would continue to support Tel Aviv.
Democrats are preparing for massive protests at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago next week. Barghzi is expected to help Harris develop a strategy to engage with pro-Palestinian protesters.
Some Muslim groups are criticizing Joe Biden's policy on Israel and the Middle East, pointing out that Harris is in the same position. But other Muslim leaders say the vice president is more sympathetic to the civilian casualties in Gaza and is the best candidate in the race.
