Hamas assault on Israel has opened up a new front in the US election campaign as Republicans accuse President Joe Biden of being soft in his defense of Israel and in his handling of Iran. «I think this is a great opportunity for our candidates to contrast where Republicans have stood with Israel — time and time again — and Joe Biden has been weak,» Ronna McDaniel, chairwoman of the Republican National Committee, said Saturday on Fox News. Americans will choose a new president and control of Congress in November 2024, with Biden, 80, seeking another term in a race that looks likely to pit him against former president Donald Trump as the Republican candidate. Trump used the stunning Hamas attack by land, sea and air at dawn Saturday to target Biden. «The Israeli attack was made because we are perceived as weak and ineffective and with a very weak leader,» he said. Other Republican presidential hopefuls, like Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former vice president Mike Pence, also dimissed Biden as weak. A stern-faced Biden gave a short speech from the White House on Saturday to stress firm US support for Israel. «Today, the people of Israel are under attack, orchestrated by a terrorist organization, Hamas,» Biden said. «In this moment of tragedy, I want to say to them and to the world and to terrorists everywhere that the United States stands with Israel.

Kamala Harris urged Black Americans to vote and cast Republicans as extremists on everything from abortion, voting rights and gun reform. “Here’s what we need to do. Vote. It gets back to the voting,” Harris said Saturday at a gathering of the NAACP, the nation’s oldest civil-rights organisation, in Boston. Noting that Black voters had record turnout in 2020, Harris said that “it scared some people.” “It is by no coincidence that immediately thereafter you started seeing extremist so-called leaders passing laws restricting voting days, making it more difficult to vote,” she added. Since Donald Trump’s loss to Joe Biden in 2020, supporters of the former president have stepped up efforts to reform the US election system, with several states introducing new rules restricting voting and redrawing electoral maps. Still, the Supreme Court this year gave an unexpected boost to the Voting Rights Act enacted in 1965 to protect minority rights at the polls by upholding a decision that requires a second majority Black District in Alabama. Harris, 58, has addressed the NAACP’s national convention for two straight years. With the president ramping up his re-election campaign, Harris the first woman, Black and Asian vice president has become a key envoy in the outreach to Black voters, who Biden credits for his 2020 victory.
