PNN – The position of the Biden administration and the deepening of the split between Democratic representatives of Michigan over the Gaza war have increased the likelihood that neither Arab nor Jewish voters in the state will vote for Democrats in the 2024 election.
According to the International group of Pakistan News Network, the deepening political divide between the Democrats over the war between the Zionist regime and Hamas has put the party’s candidates at risk in the crucial state of Michigan, where Arab and Jewish voters will greatly influence the final votes in the 2024 election.
According to “Hail”, last week “Rashida Tlaib”, a Palestinian legislator from the state of Michigan, made news because of his statements about Biden and his positions during the Gaza war. Tlaib warned Biden in a video that Arab American voters will not forget his government’s stance on the Gaza war in the year leading up to the US presidential election.
In this regard, Elisa Slatkin, the Jewish representative of the state of Michigan in the Congress, while condemning Talib’s statements, called the slogan “From the river to the sea” that he used in the published video as anti-Semitic and called for the destruction of the Zionist regime.

An issue that showed the deep divide between the Democrats in the state of Michigan and the challenges facing members of this party in the presidential election next year.
According to many Republicans, Talib’s statements and the confrontation of other representatives and Jewish officials of Michigan with these statements have provided them with a good opportunity to gain the support of the voters of this state for 2024.
The importance of this issue increases when the published data shows that Arab speakers in the state of Michigan make up 14% of the state’s population, and the “Detroit”, “Dearborn” and “Warren” regions in this state have the most Arab speakers in different regions of the United States.
Now, experts say that although Rashida Tlaib has become very popular among the American Arab communities because of his support statements for the Palestinian people, the election situation for the democratic president of this country will be very worrying because of his support for the Zionist regime during the war.
According to published polls among the Arab and Muslim population of the state of Michigan, almost two-thirds of voters have said that they are in favor of someone else coming to power instead of Biden. Also, according to the results of this survey, the support of 59% of Arab American citizens for Biden in 2020 has decreased to 17% in 2023.
Michigan’s 240,000 Arab-speaking and Muslim population may not constitute a majority of the state’s voters, but their votes could be very decisive in a state where Biden won by nearly 100,000 votes.
