    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Rep. Summer Lee, a progressive Democrat from Pennsylvania who recently visited pro-Palestinian protesters at a Pittsburgh campus, said Sunday that “we don’t” hear if college students are excited to vote for President Biden this upcoming November.

    Lee, who has been critical of Israel’s military actions in Gaza, won her primary contest in Pennsylvania’s 12th District on Tuesday with a significant margin.

    The Democratic opponent in the primary, Bhavini Patel, ran as  more of a moderate and challenged Lee’s willingness to break with Mr. Biden’s support for Israel.

    Lee was one of the 36 Democrats and 21 Republicans last week who voted against the House bill that will provide $26.4 billion to Israel.

    Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu on Wednesday said U.S. college protesters are “antisemitic mobs” and that the demonstrations are “reminiscent of what happened in German universities in the 1930s.”

    "When you’re on the ground, you see that all of those students have been working together or had been learning and educating together and they are all in one voice crying for a difference in direction, particularly from Benjamin Netanyahu.
