and if he's like any other democrat, he'll use it as a campaign highlight for his future run. at least that's what Cali dems have been doing.

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

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.

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."
