Young progressive voters in Michigan fear President Biden could lose the election to former President Trump because of left-wing backlash over Israel, according to a new report.
"Michigan is up for grabs, and I did not think I'd be saying this right now. And I wish I wasn't saying this right now, but I am genuinely concerned about which way Michigan will go," a recent University of Michigan graduate, Jade Gray, told CNN's John King.
Several students said Biden's failure to take a hard stance against Israel's campaign and to demand a cease-fire has lost him many younger and progressive voters. Gray worried it could cost the president Michigan, a battleground state with one of the largest Arab-American populations in the U.S.
"A lot of our generation is also considering going third party, but I kind of fear it‘s going to split up the votes and end up falling back on Trump, which I wouldn't want to happen," Wayne State University student Summer Matkin told CNN.
The students also said many of their friends would stay home in November or vote third-party because of their discontent over Biden.
Still, Matkin was critical of Biden.
"No matter how many Taylor Swift references you make, you'll never understand us," she said. "I think he has handled everything with Israel and Palestine terribly."
Anti-Israel protesters disrupted the University of Michigan graduation ceremony on Saturday. Colleges across the country have begun cracking down on campus protests, with many canceling their commencements.
Protests have also followed Biden on the campaign trail, leading liberal outlets like MSNBC to warn that he's at risk of losing progressive voters in key battleground states over the issue. However, a poll released Wednesday shows Democrats are divided on the campus protests.

Notice the left is Progressive. Everything else is right wing to Marxist traitors.
“We turned into a nation which perceives morality, values and the law as social injustice against those who choose not abide by a common set of laws and principles. It’s very disheartening.”
You are sharp. But the most important thing you entertained was this:
“It’s because the useful idiots have been groomed by the left to react to causes and not issues”
But you left it up to the reader to determine why and they are not programmed for that answer. Trump took care of people to improve a nation for the people. Biden took care of people to gain voter strength for himself using people against themselves. Great post, good on ya.
