Professor Marshall Breger was quoted in the article "Kamala Harris plays liaison to young U.S. voters, including on Israel," which was published in NIKKEI Asia on January 9, 2024. The article discussed U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris and the situation in Gaza, with a focus on how Harris is reaching out to progressive Democrats unhappy with President Biden's approach to the Israel-Gaza conflict. In the article Breger noted that "There is no doubt that Kamala Harris is the link, the connection to the more progressive wing." Breger further pointed out that "She has come into her own in the last two months, by coming out very strongly on abortion and very strongly on Republican race-baiting,"... "And as part of that, she is being a bit more responsive on the Palestinian issue."

NIKKEI Asia is a leading Japan-based weekly news magazine headquartered in Tokyo. It is a sister publication of the Financial Times (London). Breger was Special Assistant to President Ragan and his liaison to the Jewish community and has taught numerous times as a visiting professor at the visiting professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Bar-Ilan University in Israel.
