(NewsNation) — Vice President Kamala Harris must take a firmer stance supporting Israel and admonishing anti-Israel protesters ahead of the 2024 election, lawyer Alan Dershowitz tells NewsNation.

“I want to vote for her. Please. Let me do that. Don’t make me violate my conscience … Don’t make me leave my party,” he said Friday on “Elizabeth Vargas Reports.”

Dershowitz, a Harvard law professor emeritus, recently published an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal asking this question: Will I have to vote for Donald Trump? In the piece, he outlined Harris’ path to winning him over this November.
