(ABC) Independent presidential candidate Cornel West has been courting a group President Joe Biden may struggle to attract in the upcoming 2024 election: Muslim and Arab-American voters.
Muslim and Arab community leaders rallied around the prominent activist, author and philosopher by recently hosting fundraisers for him in Michigan — a key battleground state — and California.
“We got to do something,” West said at a rally in Dearborn, Michigan, in December. “That’s why I’m here to tell the world and especially straight to Gaza, where they’re dealing with a genocidal assault. We believe that a Palestinian baby has the same value as any baby in the world.”
Biden has faced mounting criticism over the way his administration has handled the Israel-Hamas war.
