Liberal activists are rallying behind Kamala Harris' presidential campaign despite grave reservations over her role in supporting Israel's assault on Gaza.
Among them is the Oscar-nominated actor Mark Ruffalo, who told ITV News on Sunday that "there is no perfect candidate right now," but warned that Trump would be catastrophic for the region and the Palestinian cause.
Ruffalo's argument - his hope - is that if Harris is elected president she will be different and Muslim Americans will be able to influence her once she's in the White House.
