The problem as I see it is that there’s no way to thread this needle without potentially losing the Jewish votes.
Whereas the Muslim voting block in the US is unlikely to get the policy they want if the GOP wins, it’s much easier to see the Jewish voting block going GOP and getting hard support for Israel in return. So those votes are easier to lose in a sense, since the GOP could be a more realistic option for them.
I’ve been thinking a lot about this, and the best I can come up with is that Harris somehow asks for a referendum in the US nationalwide (which would be a first btw) and is able to win both blocs of voters while deferring a decision on the policy itself until the referendum is complete.
