Progressives and Arab Americans in the state are urging Democrats to vote “uncommitted” in protest of the president’s Israel-Hamas war policies. “We need a cease-fire,” says one organizer.
“What we’re saying is, first and foremost, we need a cease-fire, not some temporary thing,” Abbas Alawieh, a veteran Democratic strategist and spokesperson for Listen to Michigan, the organization leading the effort, told NPR. Alawieh argued that Biden, who is trailing Donald Trump in the latest Michigan opinion polls, must be made aware that he has “lost many people here in Michigan, key voters.
During a Sunday appearance on CNN, Gretchen Whitmer, the Democratic governor of Michigan and a national cochair of Biden’s campaign, declared that “any vote that’s not cast for Joe Biden supports a second Trump term.” Warning of what would follow another Trump victory, she proceeded to invoke the former president’s past effort to ban all Muslims from entering the US.
