Vice President Kamala Harris To Meet Arab And Muslim Leaders

Kamala Harris looks happy.

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.

Recently, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, addressed Emgage Action's 'Million Muslim Votes: A Way Forward' summit. Governor Walz acknowledged the deep pain felt by the Muslim community, particularly in light of the tragic events in Gaza. He emphasized the devastating impact of the conflict, with numerous innocent civilians losing their lives and families being forced to flee for safety. Governor Walz reiterated calls for a ceasefire to prevent further loss of life and destruction.
