Part 4/9:
The conflict reached a boiling point following the university's handling of allegations of anti-Semitism and faculty divisions over the Israel-Hamas war. Younger Democrats, particularly those under 30, increasingly side with Palestine, creating a generational split that threatens to redefine party cohesion. Senate Senator John Fetterman, once considered an open supporter of progressive causes, publicly criticized Harvard’s shift towards what he described as a "pinko" and overly woke environment, further highlighting the internal fracturing among Democrats.
As these divides grow wider, they threaten to isolate the more moderate and traditional members of the party, potentially leading to a realignment that could benefit Republicans in upcoming elections.
