Vice President Kamala Harris is scheduled to meet with a group of Arab American and Muslim American leaders in Flint, Michigan, on Friday, as reported by three sources. This meeting is part of the Harris campaign's efforts to secure support within the community amidst the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza and Israel's actions against Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Michigan, a state narrowly won by President Joe Biden in the 2020 election, is expected to be a crucial battleground once again this November, with the Muslim American vote potentially playing a significant role. Emgage Action, an organization focused on increasing Muslim American voter turnout, endorsed Harris last month despite expressing disappointment with the Biden administration's position on Gaza. Leaders from Emgage Action are set to participate in the upcoming meeting with Vice President Harris.
