"Michigan Muslim Leader's Warning on Biden and Gaza Divides Voters"

Michigan Rep. Abraham Aiyash, the first Arab American House majority leader, is leading a campaign against President Joe Biden's support for Israel in the ongoing conflict with Palestine. Aiyash is urging Arab American voters to vote "uncommitted" in the presidential primary and is considering leaving the top of his ticket blank in the general election if Biden doesn't change his stance. Michigan's large Arab American population holds significant political power, and Aiyash's opposition to Biden's support for Israel has drawn criticism from both the right and the left. The stakes are high for Biden, as losing Michigan could impact his reelection chances, and Aiyash believes Biden, not Arab American voters, will be to blame if he loses the state or the presidency.
