The below IS why…..
It simply is NOT the place to be by a Democrat , during Trump’s War against Iran and the Israeli actions , and results, in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran….
He’s running for re-election, something he’s just about a lock….
But he’s back in the pack for the 2028 Democratic Presidential nomination....
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) “is leaning into his support for Israel as the war in Iran escalates and as speculation about a potential 2028 presidential run grows,” The Hill reports.
“Shapiro is betting that there’s still room in his party for a more nuanced approach and that Democratic voters — as the governor runs for reelection this year and tests the waters for a potential White House bid — have an appetite for a measured leader with a centrist view on Israel.”

Polling numbers for Democrats supporting Israel’s Gaza actions….
When asked whether their sympathies lie more with Israelis or Palestinians, 40% of registered voters say they side more with the Israelis, while 39% choose the Palestinians. The split stood at 45% for Israelis and 13% for Palestinians when NBC News asked the question more than a decade ago, in November 2013.
But while two-thirds of Republicans side with the Israelis, similar to 2013, two-thirds of Democrats now side with the Palestinians.
The data also outlines major changes in how many of those groups view Israel and a Palestinian state generally. Now, almost 60% of Democrats and almost 50% of independents view Israel negatively, a change from when NBC News last asked this question in November 2023, shortly after Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel. Those shifts contributed to the plurality negative view on Israel in the latest survey.
