Arabs and Muslims in Michigan are working to beat President Biden in one of the most important swing states in the country, per a new report.
Michigan State Rep. Alabas Farhat is one of many Arab-American elected officials who refused a meeting with Biden campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez in January, according to a new Washington Post article.
Imam Omar Sulemain said during a sermon that Biden wants the vote of the Arab community in Michigan but suggested that Biden is not owed their support.
"And then your president wants to come to your community and make sure that you’re still going to vote with him and vote for him in November," Suleiman said to congregants. "I hope you’ve sent him the right message."
"After the sermon and prayer, Abandon Biden co-chairs Khalid Turaani and Samraa Luqman made an announcement about the effort, urging congregants to show up and vote in a way that ensures Biden does not retain the presidency," The Post reported. "Turaani told those gathered they had no right to complain if they did not make their voices heard."
"For decades, we’ve squandered the power that we have here because [Democrats] were stringing us along, saying, ‘Vote for me, we’re not the other guy,’" Michigan State University assistant professor Shireen Al-Adeimi told The Post. "This is such a dangerous time that we’re finally willing to use that card, and [Biden] thinks we’re bluffing."
The reported the Abandon Biden campaign does not support former President Trump, Biden's likely opponent in the 2024 election, and Biden's campaign is hopeful that if it comes down to a binary choice between the two, the Arab population that supported him strongly when he carried Michigan in 2020 will do so again.
Some polls indicate that Biden's support among Arab Americans is falling, including a survey conducted by Arab American Institute president James Zogby.
"Zogby conducted a poll in October that showed that support for Biden among Arab Americans had plummeted to 17 percent, down from 59 percent in 2020," The Post wrote.
Sami Baraka, who said his family has been displaced by the war in Gaza, claimed that he voted for Biden in 2020 because he was "the lesser of two evils," but he no longer believes that.
