Delegates affiliated with the 'uncommitted' movement have requested that a doctor who has been on the ground in Gaza be given a speaking slot at Chicago's Democratic convention in August.
During the Democratic primary, nearly 1 million voters cast their ballots for a version of 'uncommitted' to voice their discontent with President Biden's response to Israel's war in Gaza.With Mr. Biden now out of the race and Vice President Kamala Harris set to be formally nominated in the coming days, the 30 Democratic delegates affiliated with those 'uncommitted' voters are seeking to make their influence known at the party's convention in Chicago later this month.
'In mid-July, after listening sessions with Arab, Muslim and Jewish Americans, the DNC convention's platform committee adopted a draft platform that included language about supporting a two-state solution. The draft platform also includes mentions of Mr. Biden's efforts to broker 'an immediate and lasting ceasefire deal' and the secured return of hostages, according to Politico. That platform is up for a final vote by convention delegates in Chicago in August.
