    Biden’s entire approach to Isreal changed almost on a dime after that primary. He started aid drops to Gaza, Kamala Harris suddenly started using the word, “ceasefire,” he brought Netanyahu’s chief opponent to discuss the humanitarian crisis in Gaza…Biden obviously didn’t come out and say, “I’m changing my approach to Isreal because I’m afraid of losing Michigan,” but it’s pretty clear why this shift is occurring.

      It’s certainly possible. My opinion has long been that politicians are not really all that responsive to public opinion.

        When your representatives are Republicans, that’s pretty much true. My blue representatives actually seem to care and I have first-hand experience with this.
