Kamala Harris has been warned that she risks losing the state of Pennsylvania and the election if she does not denounce anti-Israel activists who have appeared on her campaign trail.

The current vice president will campaign in Pittsburgh tomorrow as the race for the White House enters its final hours alongside the likes of Lady Gaga.

Backlash has been brewing in the city after his campaign hosted speakers who openly blamed Israel for the horrific October 7 attacks by Hamas terrorists.

Pittsburgh Mayor Ed Gainey and Allegheny County Executive Sara Innamorato spoke at the events, despite previously saying that Israel was responsible for the massacre.

The two co-signed a statement with Rep. Summer Lee stating that the violence “did not begin on October 7.”

His statement drew the ire of Pittsburgh’s Jewish communities, which according to the New York Post represents a considerable part of the population.

The outlet reported that there is a Jewish population of 400,000 people who will vote in the election on Tuesday, but now they are up for grabs.

With those votes now in jeopardy, he could lose the state’s 19 Electoral College votes, which would see his chances of winning the presidency evaporate.

Several Jewish Democrats in Pittsburgh told the post that they feel betrayed by the party over these issues.

Aviva Lubowsky, 45, a mother of two, was not one of them, but she said she would support Harris but warned that Democrats should fear losing the Jewish vote.

She said: ‘If the Democratic Party wants to retain its base of Jewish voters, it has to avoid and denounce extremists in the party.

‘The rhetoric they are using is dangerous for the safety of my children. “It’s causing people who would otherwise vote for (Harris) to vote for Trump.”

Jennifer Murtazashvili, a Jewish political scientist at the University of Pittsburgh, told The Post that she was not surprised to hear that Jewish voters were concerned.

He said about 60 percent of his liberal Jewish friends are considering voting for Trump because they don’t trust Harris to combat anti-Semitism.

“The dominant progressive left has a major problem on its hands. ‘How can we discern what his policies are if not by the people he surrounds himself with?’ he said.

Another Jewish Democrat told the outlet: ‘There are undecided voters in the Jewish community where I never thought they would be.

‘These are Democrats, not just registered Democrats but (people) who voted for Obama, Clinton and Biden.

“The lack of moral clarity is giving people pause,” adding that Harris declines to say whether she would limit support for Israel as an issue.
