Survey Reveals Biden’s Support Has Dropped Significantly Among Muslim and Arab Democrats in Michigan

By News Masher on November 6, 2023

A survey conducted by Joe Biden's former pollster has revealed a drop in support among Muslim and Arab Democrats in Michigan, a key demographic group that overwhelmingly backed Biden in the swing state in 2020. Rep. Rashida Tlaib and Rep. Pramila Jayapal have both called for a cease-fire in Gaza, with Tlaib accusing Biden of supporting "the genocide of the Palestinian people". The survey results suggest that Biden's handling of the war in Gaza could have a major impact on the 2022 midterms, and he will need to take decisive action to maintain the support of Muslim and Arab Democrats.

The House of Representatives is set to consider two separate censure resolutions, one for Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and one for Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib. Greene's resolution accuses Tlaib of leading an "insurrection" at the Capitol last month, while Tlaib's resolution is in response to Greene's criticism of her over her criticism of Israel. The House will now decide whether to punish either or both of the two lawmakers for their controversial statements, with Greene's resolution seen as an attempt to trivialize the events of Jan. 6 and Tlaib's resolution seen as an attempt to hold Greene accountable.
