Enter Elaine Luria. Luria was once the kind of Democrat that party leaders wanted to recruit: liberal but poised, with a military career on the resume. Military experience tended to go hand-in-hand with support for Israel, just as exposure to reality tends to increase support for Israel. But the extent of her impact will be decided by where Luria places the limits of her posture. Most of the time, Luria seems willing to criticize Omar by name.
