Major Muslim Group Endorses Kamala—With Reservations
Getty Images/Scott OlsonA national Muslim American advocacy and turnout group has endorsed Kamala Harris—with a caveat. Emgage Action announced Wednesday it is backing Harris amid Israel’s war with neighboring enemies, even as many grieve the deaths of thousands.

She added that Harris will keep working to “bring the war in Gaza to an end.”Read more at The Daily Beast.
