The Dearborn, Michigan-based “Abandon Biden' and “Listen to Michigan' movements to disrupt President Biden’s re-election bid are spreading to other key swing states.
DEARBORN, Mich. — The movement to deny President Biden a second term that gained traction in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn has plans to continue a national campaign to target swing states in the general election. 'We’ve mobilized our infrastructure that we’ve been able to build as a grassroots movement in Michigan to support other key states,' Lexis Zeidan, one of the lead organizers and the spokesperson for Listen to Michigan, told Fox News Digital.
The anti-Biden movement stems from the president’s support of Israel during its war in Gaza, a monthslong campaign in response to the Oct. 7 attack on the Jewish State by Iran-backed Hamas. But critics in Dearborn, which has the highest per capita Muslim population in the U.S., have accused Biden of supporting what they call a 'genocide' in Gaza, leading to a campaign to punish the president at the polls in 2024.
Stockton noted that while much attention has been given to the concerns of Muslim voters in Dearborn, the movement has the potential to spread 'nationally,' thanks to the support campaigns such as Abandon Biden and Listen to Michigan enjoy among younger voters across the demographic spectrum. 'Those people below 30 are abandoning Biden, they’re so heavily against this war,' Stockton said. 'It’s a generational thing, and I am talking nationally now, that’s a national pattern.
The grassroots movement we’ve built in the way that people have felt inspired and re-engaged in being politically active, we felt it was incumbent upon us as an organization to keep that growing,' Zeidan said. 'And so now you’ve seen is we have exceeded goals across the state … and our next stage of the game is to get all our delegates together to continue to take our anti-war, pro peace, pro-Palestinian narrative to the convention in August.
