"Biden's Michigan Visit: Navigating Arab American Tensions"

President Joe Biden's visit to Michigan to celebrate the UAW endorsement is overshadowed by growing anger within the Arab American community over U.S. support for Israel's war in Gaza. Despite the Democratic president's ties to the working class and efforts to build energy for the fall, concerns within the party are rising over tension with Arab Americans in the state. Demonstrators are protesting administration policies backing Israel, and activists with the "Abandon Biden" movement are on standby for protests at the president's events. Biden and his aides have expressed a desire to see peace and security for both the Israeli and Palestinian people, and senior administration officials will travel to Michigan later in February to hear from community leaders on the conflict in Israel and Gaza.
