DEARBORN, MI—What started as a grassroots initiative among Arab and Muslim voters in Michigan a few weeks ago has now expanded into a nationwide campaign to voice disapproval of President Joe Biden’s stance on Gaza. Some believe that if the campaign gains further traction among voters, it could negatively impact President Biden’s prospects in Michigan and other swing states.

Arab and Muslim community leaders in the Rust Belt state launched a campaign a few weeks ago, encouraging voters to select “uncommitted” in the state’s primary elections on Feb. 27. They claim that their efforts have paid off after seeing the initial results.
