Read Original Source
The conflict in the Middle East is a top issue for voters this election cycle. As the conflict in the Middle East escalates, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are both taking a break from campaigning in battleground states on Monday to memorialize the anniversary of the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks on Israel. Harris, alongside second gentleman Doug Emhoff, marked the day by planting a pomegranate tree at the vice president's residence -- a symbol of hope and righteousness in Judaism.
