Do Muslim Voters Feel Betrayed by President Biden's Stance on Israel?

Muslim voters in Michigan and across the country are expressing disillusionment with President Joe Biden's unwavering support for Israel amid the recent conflict in Gaza. Many feel betrayed and disappointed by his refusal to call for a ceasefire and his strong backing of Israel's actions. This could have significant implications for the 2024 election, as Michigan has a large Muslim American population and was won by Biden in 2020. Arab and Muslim Americans make up a small percentage of the population but have outsize influence in battleground states. In Michigan alone, there are over 200,000 Muslim American voters, with Biden winning the state by a margin of 155,000 votes in 2020. The rejection of voters like Eman Hammoud, a Palestinian American lawyer, could cost Biden both the state and his re-election. Muslim voters who feel hurt and betrayed by the Biden administration are now facing a difficult choice, as the Republican candidate for 2024 may be former President Donald Trump, who famously issued a travel ban on predominantly Muslim nations. This leaves Muslim voters to decide whether to support a president who has stood firmly with Israel or a candidate with a controversial record on Muslim issues.
