In 2020, Eman Hammoud was one of thousands of Michigan Muslims who helped President Joe Biden beat Donald Trump. A month ago, the Palestinian American immigration lawyer had no doubts she would support his campaign again in 2024.
But over the last few weeks, she’s watched the Biden administration offer unwavering support to Israel after it declared war on Hamas following the Palestinian militant group’s deadly October 7 attack, with no red lines for Israel and no calls for a ceasefire, even as thousands of civilians in Gaza have been killed. Now she doesn’t know what she’ll do.
“He’s put us in a very difficult situation,” Hammoud told CNN. “It has become almost impossible for me, morally, to vote for someone that’s taken the stances that he’s taken in the past few weeks.”
Arab and Muslim Americans make up a small percentage of the population, but they have outsize influence in battleground states like Michigan, where the rejection of voters like Hammoud — who feel hurt and betrayed by the Biden administration – could cost Biden both the state and reelection.
Michigan has more than 200,000 Muslim American voters — 146,000 of whom turned out to vote in 2020 –— according to an analysis by Emgage, an organization that seeks to build the political power of Muslim Americans. Biden won Michigan — a state that narrowly went to Donald Trump in 2016 — by 155,000 votes.

What a load of nonsense. They’re whining, but they’ll be there for the DEMs in November 2024. The Muslims need as many DEMs elected as possible for the collapse of the US to take place.
Any nation that allow Moslems into their country are foolish because Islam cannot exist with anything else by design.
Theyre afraid of Trump.
Canada is 5% Muslim. France is at 10%. We're just at 1%. I think a lot of it is due to 9/11 attacks. So we've cracked down on Muslim immigration since then.
awwwwwwwwwww poor jew hating loafs..what to do what to do..no worries they will still vote Dem in 2024 either that or they will blow themselves up whatever comes first
They're peaceful when it's under 1%.
I’ll believe it when I see it.
Title is incorrect.
Biden didn’t win Michigan in 2020.
Doubtful, they won’t stray from the feeding trough
cheating is the reason. Bidet lost by a landslide.
Yep
They ain’t gonna vote for Republicans.
Her job is to import Hamas! And she's worried PedoJoe isn't doing enough to help. FU, lady, go back to where you think they appreciate you!
You are right. If Biden is the nominee, they’ll vote for him, or sit out.
What did those troglodyte sand pickaninnys expect?
Typical bully, the Gazans. Big and tough until someone smacks you back.
I hope that Israel will finish the job, once and for all.
Dnc gets half its funding from Jews. It needs their vote a lot more than Muslims.
Aside from being an oxymoron on its face, the word order surely illustrates muzz priorities.
HOW THE HELL can MUSLIMS and JEWS VOTE FOR THE SAME PEOPLE?? Because they both HATE CHRISTIANS!!
But the base is pro-Islamic. Eventually, the Jews will have no choice but to become Republicans.
Future Democratic Presidents including Newsom will probably cut foreign aid to Israel in order to appease his base who hates the Jews.
