Biden Faces Backlash from Arab, Muslim Voters in Michigan Over Israel-Hamas War

Community leaders refuse to meet with Biden's campaign manager, demanding a ceasefire in Gaza.

Biden is facing backlash from Arab and Muslim voters in Michigan over his handling of the Israel-Hamas war, with some launching an 'abandon Biden' campaign.
Dearborn Mayor Abdullah Hammoud and other Arab and Muslim leaders in Michigan refused to meet with Biden's campaign manager, demanding a ceasefire in Gaza.
Michigan, a key battleground state, is home to roughly 300,000 Arab and Muslim voters, whose defection could potentially swing the vote.
Despite the backlash, Biden is set to visit Michigan ahead of the state's Democratic primary in February.
The 'Abandon Biden' campaign is still debating whether to support a third-party candidate or to skip the presidential contest altogether, but encourages voters to show up and vote.
