He can try, but he's dead on arrival in the current climate.

Anything that Israel touches in the US is radioactive for most of the country these days.

If he's not a complete idiot (and he appears not to be) he'll inch away from Israel while staying in the middle of the herd of congressional democrats. From what I can see from his wikipedia he's doing just that: supporting the AOC/Bernie "offensive weapons" nonsense, then inching away from military funding altogether after being given permission. He's also from New Jersey which is a state with more support for Israel among democrats than most states. Finally he's not up for election for 5 more years which is plenty of time to "evolve."

we'll see how our primaries go but shithead Karen Bass and dumb bitch Sara Hernandez are literally using it as their foundation. I hope it kills their careers.
