Biden to celebrate his UAW endorsement in Detroit, where Arab American anger is boiling over Gaza
President Joe Biden is planning to celebrate his recent endorsement by the United Auto Workers union during a visit to Michigan
DETROIT (AP) — President Joe Biden will celebrate his recent endorsement by the United Auto Workers union by visiting Michigan on Thursday, but his time in this critical battleground state with the nation's highest density of Arab Americans threatens to be overshadowed by growing anger over U.S. support for Israel's war in Gaza.
However, the president's Michigan schedule did not include any meetings with Arab Americans, adding to increasing frustration within a key voting bloc over the president's full-throated support of Israel in its war with Hamas.
“Why not have a meaningful conversation for how you change course with a community that has first-hand accounts of what it’s like to live in the countries where your decision-making is unfolding?" said Abdullah Hammoud, the mayor of Dearborn, one of the largest Arab American communities in the nation.
