CHICAGO — As Asma Mohammed walked the halls of the United Center on the opening night of the Democratic National Convention Monday, she said she felt an immense pressure to properly represent her community in Minnesota.
The "uncommitted" delegate for the North Star State said she wanted to ensure she continued to negotiate in "good faith" with Vice President Kamala Harris' nascent campaign and remind other attendees that, as the violence in Gaza continues into its eleventh month, a majority of Democrats support a permanent ceasefire in the region and many want the United States to place an arms embargo on Israel.
