But an extremely small percentage of our establishment congressional members have called for a cease-fire,\u201d he said of the ongoing war in Gaza. \u201cMy opponent in my Senate race has not.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Harper announced his bid in November and is set to take on Rep. Elissa Slotkin (Mich.) in the Democratic primary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the interview, Harper said he recently met with 14 Arab and Muslim leaders in Michigan. He urged them to vote for President Biden because if they don\u2019t, \u201cit\u2019s literally supporting Trump.\u201d He reported being told by many that people in their culture feel \u201cthat the Democratic Party has stabbed them in the back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The actor said that he wouldn\u2019t \u201cuniformly\u201d support aid being sent to Israel for its war against Hamas because he doesn\u2019t want the U.S. to be \u201cin the business of funding violence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo if further funding to fund a foreign war is going to create more death, then I\u2019m not interested in that now,\u201d he said. \u201cBut, I am interested in helping a democracy like Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re allowing people to conflate the idea that you are anti-Israeli or anti-Jewish if you advocate for a cease-fire. It\u2019s not true. Two things can be true at once,\u201d Harper continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Harper announced his bid, he said that he was a member of the Screen Actors Guild and owned a coffee shop in Detroit, which would make him the \u201conly U.S. senator who is a current dues-paying, card-carrying union member\u201d and \u201cone of the very few small business owners\u201d in the Senate, if elected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Actor Hill Harper, who left \u201cThe Good Doctor\u201d and launched a Democratic bid for a Michigan Senate seat, argued that more Democratic lawmakers should be calling for a cease-fire in the war between Israel and Hamas. \u201cI\u2019m very proud of being a Democrat, but our party\u2019s gotten off course,\u201d Harper said in an interview with [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":5005,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[61],"class_list":["post-5004","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-usa","tag-usa"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.0 -
