Biden faces anger from Arab-American voters in Michigan

The war in Gaza and President Joe Biden's attitudes towards it are also playing a role in his presidential campaign for a second term. That much was clear during a visit to the state of Michigan on Thursday, where the Auto Manufacturers union said it would support his candidacy in the November election. But that good news for the Democratic president's campaign was overshadowed by growing anger over US support for Israel's war in Gaza, which could cost him the Arab-American vote in a state critical to his victory. his.

President Biden saluted union members whose support is important to his race. But as he spoke inside the union's headquarters, about 150 pro-Palestinian demonstrators protested outside as police stood by.

Before Mr. Biden's arrival, a group called "Abandon Biden" held a press conference with the message that he was not welcome in Michigan.

"The trust we gave him with our votes has been completely betrayed as we feel cheated and robbed of our hard-earned money, which he dedicated to Israel, causing the loss of innocent lives," says Farah Khan of this movement.

Michigan has the largest percentage of Arab-Americans in relation to the population in the United States, and they generally vote for Democratic candidates, meaning that withdrawing their support could affect the electoral votes needed to win.

This state has leaned more and more towards the Democratic Party in recent years, controlling all levels of state government for the first time in four decades./ VOA
