Lesson from 2024 shouldn’t be that Kamala Harris’s pro-Israel stance lost her the presidential election, DMFI says

Assessment
The Democratic Majority for Israel is pushing back against a narrative that could reshape how the party approaches Israel policy. By arguing that Kamala Harris's pro-Israel stance did not cost her the election, DMFI is trying to prevent the Democratic National Committee from drawing lessons that could weaken bipartisan support for Israel. The real test will be whether the DNC's autopsy report or DMFI's counterargument carries more weight with party strategists heading into future elections.
