MICHIGAN’S Arab-American community knows its political power and showed how it intends to use it against President Joe Biden in last Tuesday’s primary. But interviews in recent days showed a movement struggling to reconcile the urgent need for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas with the dire consequences of a second Trump administration.
The organisation, Listen to Michigan, far exceeded its goal of getting at least 10,000 voters to withhold their support from Biden in the Democratic presidential primary and instead choose the “uncommitted” option. The number represents Donald Trump’s margin of victory over Hillary Clinton in the US state in 2016, and was meant to send a message to Biden from those who are angry over his handling of the crisis in Gaza.
Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
