President Biden is facing a protest from inside his party, particularly in the critical battleground state of Michigan, which is home to one of the largest populations of Arab Americans and Muslim Americans. Progressive Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib is urging people in her home state to vote uncommitted in the upcoming primary instead of casting a ballot for President Biden. Tlaib, the first Palestinian American woman to serve in Congress, is protesting the administration's support for Israel's actions in Gaza.
Former Congressman Andy Levin, a Democrat from Michigan, has also voted uncommitted in the early primary voting but plans to support Joe Biden in the general election. Levin emphasizes the importance of Biden winning Michigan in November and believes that a change in course regarding Gaza is necessary for Biden to secure victory in the state.
