44 DNC Delegates Snub Harris With ‘Present’ Vote<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

44 delegates <\/strong>at this week’s Democratic National Convention voted “present” during the roll call vote – a symbolic protest following Harris’ official nomination during a virtual roll call earlier this month.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Of note, during the 2020 election there were just 5 delegates<\/strong><\/a> who similarly abstained.<\/p>\n

As the Daily Caller<\/em> <\/a>notes, among the 44 ‘present’ votes were likely 30 delegates from the “Uncommitted<\/a>” protest movement – which says they “feel deeply hurt and betrayed by the President\u2019s decisions to continue funding war crimes and the mass killing of Palestinians,” according to their website.<\/p>\n

Some members of the Uncommitted movement represent officially uncommitted delegates, like Washington state\u2019s Yaz Kader and Sabrene Odeh, according<\/a> to The Seattle Times. Both voted present during the virtual roll call earlier in August in an effort to pressure Harris to support a ceasefire and an embargo on U.S. weapons to Israel, The Times reported.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI entered my vote on behalf of a 10-year-old who was bombed and killed on her 10th birthday<\/strong>,\u201d Odeh said, according to the outlet.<\/em><\/p>\n

Kader and Odeh were two of 9 delegates from Washington voting present, while delegates from 12 other states joined <\/strong>in voting present – Connecticut, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, Ohio, Texas, and Tim Walz’ home state of Minnesota – with the latter leading the charge with 10 present votes, the most of any state.<\/p>\n

Harris officially secured 4,567 out of the 4,695 available delegates.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
