She has also reportedly been 'an active presence in pro-Palestinian circles.'
Harris carefully threaded her rhetoric on the conflict in the Middle East.
She spoke about Israel's right to defend itself even though the government has been criticized for the death of civilians in Gaza.
'I will always ensure Israel has the ability to defend itself, because the people of Israel must never again face the horror that a terrorist organization called Hamas caused on October 7,' she said.
