(Middle East Eye) There is a realistic chance that November’s presidential election may be decided by who wins Michigan. In 2016, President Donald Trump won the Midwestern state by a mere 10,000 votes.
Michigan also happens to be home to large Arab and Muslim communities — a constituency in the hundreds of thousands that could sway the election one way or another.
On Thursday, prominent Palestinian-American activist Linda Sarsour told supporters that Joe Biden’s campaign decision to disavow her earlier this week may affect the Democratic Party’s chances of winning the state in November.
Sarsour said she knows how to organise and excite Muslim and Arab voters that the former vice president will need in Michigan and other states.
