Muslim community leaders from several swing states pledged to withdraw support for U.S. President Joe Biden on Saturday at a conference in suburban Detroit, citing his refusal to call for a ceasefire in Gaza.
Democrats in Michigan have warned the White House that Biden’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war could cost him enough support within the Arab American community to sway the outcome of the 2024 presidential election.
Leaders from Michigan, Minnesota, Arizona, Wisconsin, Florida, Georgia, Nevada and Pennsylvania gathered behind a lectern that read "Abandon Biden, ceasefire now" in Dearborn, Michigan - the city with the largest concentration of Arab Americans in the United States.
More than 13,300 Palestinians - roughly two-thirds of them women and minors,
according to the Health Ministry in Hamas-ruled Gaza - have been killed in the Israel-Hamas war. Some 1,200 Israelis have been killed, mostly during Hamas' Oct. 7 attack on Israel that triggered the war.
