According to Reuters, this decision was announced by Ms. Kamala Harris on August 28 and the lawyer's name is Brenda Abdella.
Lawyer Brenda Abdella's mission is to join the people in protesting the US government's shortcomings in supporting the war between Hamas and Israel that is raging in the Middle East.
Harris chose Abdella not only because she is Arab but also because she is culturally savvy, having previously run a Middle Eastern food website. Abdella's most recent job was as a senior advisor to the US Secretary of Homeland Security.
The majority of voters concerned about the war in the Middle East are Arab and Muslim. They are concentrated mostly in the state of Michigan, together initiating many street protests against this issue.
Having an Egyptian-born lawyer on her team could help Harris win more votes during her visit to Michigan next week.
Michigan is currently one of the battleground states in the US Presidential election and there will be a lot of advantages for either candidate Donald Trump or Kamala Harris if they win these states.
Vice President Kamala Harris previously hired an Afghan-American lawyer to reach out to Muslim voters.
The Arab-American community is disappointed with President Joe Biden's war-supporting policies in the Middle East because most of them do not mention limiting the use of weapons to minimize casualties for people in these areas.
The move toward Arabs has raised expectations of a more positive shift in support policies if Harris is elected this year.
