The leaders of two Dearborn, Michigan-based movements, "Abandon Biden" and "Michigan progressive activist Lexis Zeidan," have announced that their organizations will target swing states in the general election and shift their focus to opposing Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris.
The pro-Palestinian group "Abandon Biden" has now rebranded as "Abandon Harris" and is mobilizing against Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris's complicity in the ongoing conflict in Gaza. The group's statement emphasizes its mission to hold the Democratic Party accountable for the bloodshed in Gaza, highlighting the party's continued support for Israel in the conflict.
"While we will keep the registered name of Abandon Biden, our mission is now laser-focused on exposing and opposing Kamala Harris and her complicity in genocide," the statement from the group explained.

Anti-Israel demonstrators have been a constant presence at the Democratic National Convention, expressing their discontent with Harris's campaign through marches, protests, and demonstrations. The group's actions reflect a broader movement on the left that opposes the Democratic Party's support for Israel in the conflict with Hamas in Gaza.
Abandon Harris is demanding a hostage deal and a cease-fire deal in Gaza, calling the ongoing conflict "a brutal, unforgivable violence." The group criticizes the Democratic Party for its inaction, arguing that it is an active participant in the violence.
